:i'm looking for opinions or beliefs on this

How about shucking the opinions and beliefs and looking for facts?

:- the WTS states that the 12 tribes of 12,000 in Revelation is applied in a spiritual sense because Joseph and one or two
others are listed. How do they then apply that to a literal number?

Not only that But the Bible says so too.

It is a literal number because everything can not be symbolic. If everything was symbolic, what would Jesus do if he wanted to convey a literal number? Think about that?

It must be literal since the great crowd is contrasted to that. And since 12 is literal, the 7 seals, bowls and trumpets are literal.
