Note 4 of 2.2.2 says

"An animation that occurs as part of a preload phase or similar situation can be considered essential if interaction cannot occur during that phase for all users and if not indicating progress could confuse users or cause them to think that content was frozen or broken."

Based on that any loading indicator animation can be considered "essential". As the new content is loading users cannot interact with that component.

Thanks,
