Check with the manufacturer to see if the fixture is designed to be encapsulated within spray foam insulation.

I know that the Juno cans I use are not rated for encapsulation in spray foam. I had to box around the cans and allow air space to use these can in spray foam.

Key word is "around".
Around is fine. . In contact is fine. . But if it has some adhesives properties and will adhere to the can, then I would take a closer look at what the listing will allow.

Another problem will be removing the can itself, and being able to access the j-box.

Absolutely !
A spray with adhesive properties would prevent access to the junction box
