Keep in mind you can’t renew your TN or travel abroad after filing your I-485. You can only resume abroad travel after your AP is approved.

There’s a chunk of time where you can’t leave the country and it’s brutal

A lot of companies stay away from this, so best check first with your employer if they even consider it. Also, what has been told by other people about renewal and travel restrictions is correct.
