as for the kabalah sources; if this were the correct reading of them, then achronim who were mekubalim like rav yonasan eybeshuts wouldnt quote them halachikally, but they do, and the maharal goes further, saying that they are yehereg velo yaavor.
What the arizal meant is complicated; im not a mekubal, and neither are you, and neither are the mizrachi rabbis who quote this, but the satmar rov was, and he dealt with it a lot in his sefer vayoel moshe.
