Police certificate prior to I-130 approval

Anticipating I-130 approval soon (or not 😂)

 

trying to be ahead of the game and get all the NVC docs ready. Is there any harm in getting the police certificate from now? NVC site said they’re good for 2 years.

I did the same and got mine in advance, although they're valid for 2 years, I believe that they have to be within 1 year of the document submission however I can't remember where I read that 😕

The three months would not apply to anything past when you submit the certificate.  It will be far more than 3 months longer for the interview.  Generally, NVC and Consular Officers are not concerned with expiration dates printed on police certificates.  They only care about the issue date.
