Should I add several new payment methods before appealing?

No. One method in the business name is clearer than a stack of new ones.

Can I appeal while a charge is still failing?

Settle or replace the method first when the notice is about billing.

Appeal after failed charges were cleared

When an ad account restriction followed failed charges or an unpaid balance, clear the billing problem first, then request a review that states the dates and that the balance is settled. Naming a payment brand does not help. Stick to payment method, failed charge, unpaid balance and the date you paid.
