I-751 (Removal of Conditions) - Living in different states due to work. Will this cause issues?

Hi everyone,
I’m currently a conditional resident (2-year Green Card) which expires in February 2027. I have a question regarding the I-751 process and our living situation.
My wife and I are currently living in different states due to our jobs. She is in New Jersey and I am in New York. Because of our work schedules (she works weekends when I’m off), we don't get to visit each other as frequently as we’d like.
I’ve heard that once you move, you must inform USCIS about the change of address. However, I’m worried that having different addresses will be a huge red flag and that they will demand a lot of extra evidence that might be hard to provide since we aren't physically together every day.
My questions are:

  1. Is it better to just pick one address for both of us to avoid 'extra' scrutiny, or is that considered a major risk/fraud?
  2. Does USCIS always ask for more evidence for the second Green Card (I-751) regardless of whether the couple lives together or not?
  3. What kind of documents should we start gathering now to prove our marriage is bona fide if we continue living in different states?
  4. Has anyone here successfully removed conditions while living in separate states for work?
    I really want to do things the right way, but I’m scared that our logistical situation will make it look like we are separated when we are actually just working in different places.
    Thanks in advance for your advice!
