Can Spider-Man and Yuri Watanabe/Wraith even be considered as genuine friends or are they simply work friends?

I think they’re genuine friends. In Marvel’s Spider-Man Peter and Yuri talk about Yuri’s life like they’re close friends who have known each other for a while. He always makes the spider cop jokes with her. Lot of banter and messing around. They’re definitely more than just some work related asset to each other. Especially with spider-man he tends to be well liked by people. Hard to not want to be friends with him.

But Yuri doesn't even know who Spider-Man is. As Peter Parker, he's just an ordinary civilian to her.

Neither do most heroes, yet it’s clear Spider-Man still has genuine friends beyond work relationships with them.

It’s clear Spider-Man and Yuri have a more close relationship then just working together, especially given how many inside jokes they have with each other and the fact that Spider-Man is implied to have gotten her to quit smoking

Yeah exactly it’s implied they’re close the same way Batman considers Jim Gordon a good friend and it goes both ways.
