Spouse of recently naturalised British citizen but he chose separated in relationship status in his application last yr

Hi there,
I'm about to start the process of getting my documents together and studying for the life in the uk test. I'm trying to figure out if I can still go via the spouse of a British citizen route so I only have to provide 3 years worth of evidence. I have the residence card through settled status. My spouse is Spanish and we applied through the EU settlement scheme.
We've been married 10 years but for the last years have been separated but on good terms. He got his naturalisation certificate last year and now has his British passport. However when he was applying he selected separated as his relationship status even if we're still in fact legally married. Since he has done this, will I still be able to apply via the spouse route? He's happy to provide me with all his side documents wise.
We also have different addresses as well and no joint bills etc.
Also I'm self-employed and currently run a limited company as of 2021. So I have no p60s. I do however have self assessment letters from hmrc, and I think some council tax bills but not from 3 years ago. What other proof can I provide?
Thank you so much in advance!
