Genuine q: while waiting for gc with filled 485, you can get ead and advanced parole, right? While not super solid footing, you're still in us and working.

That's only once you file your I-485 and are waiting for a decision on that. It takes Indians and Chinese decades between an approved I-140 and being able to file a I-485. There's no EAD in that interval. You are beholden to your job and employer.
