Its magical and would have added a magical feeling.
To make it fit there would only be one option IMHO. IDWTK and Never going back again would be the sacrificial lamb. Silver Springs is in the 10 ten best written Stevie songs IMHO. Its full of emotional pain and belonged on Rumours with all the other emotional pain songs. It would be out of place on Tusk IMHO. But most important.....it was a moment in time and needed to fit in this period of the band.
But it got its due 20 years later with the Dance. The live Dance versions of the song are some of the best ever.

No way. Silver Springs had the wrong energy and didn't fit in. I Don't Want To Know added energy and musicality to the album. Silver Springs would have fit better on Tango in the Night.
