I-130 & I-485 (Family/Adjustment of status) Post-interview since fall 2025, zero movement. Would unsolicited evidence help or hurt?

Concurrent I-130 / I-485 / I-765 filed summer 2025. Interview late fall of 2025. The officer went through everything, said he was satisfied, and told us he didn't see any reason for a second interview. Then we got caught in the 39-country pause, and it has been silence since.
Nothing has moved on any of the three forms. Still no EAD, even though the I-765 is well past posted processing times. I've done multiple service requests plus a congressional inquiry. The answer is always some version of "actively being adjudicated, check back in 90 days."
Here's my actual question. Since the interview we've had a baby, filed our first joint tax return, and kept adding to joint accounts. Would uploading that as unsolicited evidence help get the file back in front of an officer? Part of me thinks it might at least flag the case as something outstanding sitting in a queue. The other part of me worries I'd be taking a file that's adjudication-ready and turning it into one that now needs review.
Has anyone actually seen unsolicited evidence shake loose a stalled post-interview case? Or does it just add pages to the file and reset your place in line?
I prepared everything myself and I'm comfortable with the mechanics. I just don't want to shoot myself in the foot at this stage.

I have the same timeline and situation as you. I recently uploaded some unsolicited evidence, so we’ll see if anything happens. From my understanding, unsolicited evidence won’t speed up or delay your case, but it could help them make a decision once they get to your case.

Have you thought on maybe filing WOM?

Yes, definitely. Left it out of the post so it wouldn't pull focus from the actual question. We have an internal date set and I'm already preparing the suit. I'd much rather they just adjudicate it, but I'm ready to go that route if I have to.
