Do I have any hope of this changing or does Spire only extend if you are renewing Ambassador?
Not an answer to your question but in my case it's the opposite:
web: EXP. 01 JAN 2019
app: EXP. DEC 31, 2019
"2018 Track to Elite Status" in app: Elite Status Expiration 12/31/2020

I got Spire status recently and renewed Ambassador a few days later. I have no clue which of the dates above I should trust. The fact that they use three different date formats makes it even more inconsistent.
