Needles are - in their commercial form - unsuitable for springs, as the steel is much too brittle and breaks very easily. (older springs were more durable and bendable, maybe it's a "commercial property" of newer needles, or the manufacturing has changed over time)
Tempering needles is not technically difficult, but it requires some routine to catch the "just right" moment. But in a pinch, needles still can be used for springs.
