Hello, 

Looking for advice on how to build a 3D spiral staircase.

Any help/tips/directions is greatly appreciated.

Basic reference attached.

Final look and feel will be similar to what I've created here - only the steps would be spiraling.

WIth the 3D-effects you can build this, but it won't be 3D, only 2,5 D. Every 3D object in Illustrator lives in its own 3D space. So you can of course move the objects around to create the illusion of a staircase, but as soon as you want to edit anything, you will get in trouble.

It's easier with the perspective grid, but still has its limits.

You want to take a look at a real 3D application.

You could try whether you can do it in Adobe Dimension. If you can't then it's time to learn Blender.
