Using EAD obtained under different status

Here's the situation - 0have a green card petition pending for myself and my wife, I-140 approved and we got our EAD/AP cards this summer, only waiting for the I-485 to come through now. I am currently working on an H-1B visa, and my wife's H-4 just got approved too (we applied as a backup plan).

Now, we plan to travel abroad for the holiday season and consider our re-entry options. I will likely visit the embassy to get the H-1B stamp to keep the employment steady, but we're wondering if my wife should do it for her H-4 or skip the embassy and re-enter using the AP. She currently works on her EAD (in the c(9) category) and we worry that getting the H-4 might cancel that somehow. That's because while H-4s can get EADs while a green card petition is pending, it is of a different category, c(26). Applying for a new EAD and waiting a year is not worth it, but we're wondering if it's ok to work on an EAD that was granted under a different status?

We'll likely just use the combo card to be safe, but any thoughts or comments would be appreciated, thanks!

At the same time April 2021 showed up on my account as the expected completion date. Last week, the status was "17 days". Today the estimated time of completion has disappeared!!! Any idea what that means? More importantly - When I click on "View PDF" link under "N-400 Application for Naturalization", to see my actual N-400 form, I get " {"data":null,"error":{"developerMessage":null,"userMessage":null}} " message! The form is also missing under "Documents -> Your Uploads" tab! So, it appears that my N400 form is missing! What does that all mean, considering that it's impossible to file without N400 form! Finally, under profile, My name is incorrectly sp...
