Description
I had to comment three lines in the provided workaround:
;; (45 . ".\\(?:\\(?:-[>-]\\|<<\\|>>\\)\\|[<>}~-]\\)")
;; (46 . ".\\(?:\\(?:\\.[.<]\\)\\|[.=]\\)")
;; (47 . ".\\(?:\\(?:\\*\\*\\|//\\|==\\)\\|[*/=>]\\)")
these get emacs stuck on some spacemacs UI elements, e.g. opening a project selection with projectile.
other regexps seem to be working

Research direction
Start with the provided workaround and the three commented regular-expression entries in the issue. Reproduce the freeze in Spacemacs when opening a Projectile project selection, then compare behavior with those entries disabled and enabled. Done means the workaround no longer gets Emacs stuck while the other regular expressions continue working.
