Personally, I have never fully bought into this section of the code. If you're really concerned about cracking and corrosion and such, you might take a look at ACI 350 which has different provisions covering the same basic topic.

Unfortunately, we have a new foundation software and it's giving warning that crack control spacing is not met.
I'm now trying to justify how to get away from this warning. Is there any documentation to justify not using this?

The software probably assumes 2/3 fy which is permitted by the code. But, you could probably do some hand calculations to justify a lower value. And, therefore a larger maximum spacing.
