.100 is nothing on the length of a spring. As long as the tension is the same should be fine.
M&P 2.0 Compact 3.6" RSA failure

So far only reports of RSA problems seem to be with the 3.6" version.
Actually, it's quite a difference in this case.
The 1.0 Compact RSA doesn't compress the spring at all when placed in the 2.0 Compact slide. If you turn it over, it almost falls out of the slide.
The 2.0 Compact RSA, when placed in the 2.0 Compact, actually compresses the spring and the RSA fits as you would expect.

Has this "issue" been resolved by S&W with an updated RSA or are there still problems with the springs breaking?

No one has reported a problem recently.
I suspect it was a small and short spring vendor quality issue.

New to the boards, but I just got my S&W 2.0 3.6 inch. I maybe have 300 rounds though it. Took it apart today to clean it and found that the spring had moved beyond the keeper on the recoil bar. No way I could get it back together. This is a little worrisome to me the gun is brand new.

Seems like this was an issue of some bad springs early on in manufacturing. Your post is the only recent occurrence I have heard of in several months.
Do you know when your gun was made? Perhaps it is new but sat on the shelf for awhile.
Either way. S&W will twke care of the issue.
I have about 1,000 rounds through my 3.6" and the RSA spring looks like it did the first day. Other than the yellow paint is wearing off in spots.
