Is it possible to spam the network with invalid txs, with any effect?

You'll waste some of their internet bandwidth and CPU time while invalidity is determined, but that's about it.  Invalid transactions are ignored.
Companies claiming they got hacked and lost your coins sounds like fraud so perfect it could be called fashionable.  I never believe them.  If I ever experience the misfortune of a real intrusion, I declare I have been honest about the way I have managed the keys in Casascius Coins.  I maintain no ability to recover or reproduce the keys, not even under limitless duress or total intrusion.  Remember that trusting strangers with your coins without any recourse is, as a matter of principle, not a best practice.  Don't keep coins online. Use paper or hardware wallets instead.

Just to clarify, "they" refers to only those nodes you have an active connection to, not the whole network. Invalid transactions won't be relayed to the rest of the network.
