pre-pandemic, likely would work
now, who knows?
past reports say probably okay:

really wouldn't recommend doing this - NRT-EWR is usually empty, let your wife enjoy J and meet her at EWR, why expose yourself to more risks (health, and misconnect risks) when you dont need to?
if you misconnect, who's picking your wife from airport?
i don't know if unitd's concierge still works at newark -
