Quick answer: play safe, get CSI.
And if wife is your sponsor make sure you are covered too.

If work is not genuine and effective and/or does not pass UK's PET/MET test (that goes above and beyond the cleaner, purer EU law) then HO may not accept wife is a worker qualified person.

With Brexit looming why risk it?
