My wife's itin number expired and I already mailed renewal paperwork. Should I wait for response before file for taxes for 2019?

You should wait until you receive the notification from the IRS that the ITIN has been renewed.

 

If you use an Expired ITIN on a U.S. tax return, it will be processed and treated as timely filed, but without any credits claimed and no refund will be paid at that time.  You will receive a notice explaining the delay in any refund and that the ITIN has expired.   Per IRS.gov Do I need to renew my ITIN?
