I would strongly advise you to include the I-765 anyway along with an I-131 (Advance Parole)........There is no fee if they are sent along with the I-485.

Include I-131. You never know if any emergency might happen and your wife will need to leave US.

Go to the AOS forum,  your answers are there

I second the suggestions to include EAD and AP anyway. You never know if an emergency comes up and she needs to travel. And she may not need to work, but she might eventually get bored and want to at least get a part time job just to get out of the house, meet new people, have something to do, etc.

Moved to Adjustment of Status filing and process as OP is now at the AOS stage

Agree with others about EAD/AP. No extra fee if filed concurrently with AOS. Due to protracted AOS processing times, gives you some options if need occurs. Here is quote from useful USCIS link:

Filing Forms I-765 and I-131 with Form I-485

If you are filing Form I-485 and pay the required fee (or already filed Form I-485 and paid the required fee on or after July 30, 2007), you do not have to pay an additional fee to also file a Form I-765, Application for Employment Authorizationand/or Form I-131, Application for Travel Document for advance parole. You may file these forms together. If you choose not to file Form I-765 and/or Form I-131 with your Form I-485, then you must submit a copy of your I-797C, Notice of Action, receipt as evidence that you filed a Form I-485.
