I feel like this kind of argument relies on the spirt/god/being being willing to do something that is meaningful to us (but perhaps not to them), or something which is not possible even for them. This reminds me a lot of when our children, raised on Netflix, encountered cable TV for the first time. When they were very young, they did not understand that we (parents) could not make their favorite shows come on when they wanted to watch them
Perhaps higher-dimensional beings exist, and have an understanding of the universe that we don't -- but perhaps they are not capable of performing these "miraculous" events that people would consider irrefutable proof of a god's existence. I seem to recall an anecdote (I forget where?) where the human planned to ask the entity they encountered to factor some hard primes, or do something that they knew their own brain couldn't make up -- and the entity dodged it as something that wasn't important.
