And rpm --eval "%{gem_install -n foobar.gem}" expands correctly.
Yes, I am aware how RPM expands macros.

But my question was - CAN I use %macro in specs, or I MUST use
%{macro} form always, with exception for %configure (and what
else?) ?

As long as it's surrounded by whitespace, or separated from other macros by their own '%' symbls or other separators like "/" , you should be OK. The point of guidelines is to provide standards and legibility, not to force every tool in the world to be written only one way.
