Since you already filed I-485 and your current STEM OPT is good until Jul 2023 I believe you should be receiving family based EAD very soon, so I don't think your employer has to file H-1B lottery for you starting in March 2023.

I believe your wife's employer is advising to hold off from visiting US consulate for H-1B visa stamping because of poor job market. In that case your wife can get L2 visa stamp enter into US and if H-1B job becomes available from her employer at any future date, they can file H-1B not subject...

If they have originally come to US on B1/B2 its better they should not leave country until green card approves.

I doubt if AC21 is available for you. As I said it is available for countries with retrogression. USCIS could hit you back saying since your priority date is current, do AOS or consular processing but not H-1B.
