I got a postcard stating to visit immigration with 8000yen, which is a good sign for starters… I thought. Then I read the following part, which says that I am to notify immigration immediately in case of a situational change. I quit my job a couple months into my application because my Japanese husband got a job offer and we were about to move but everything came to a sudden halt and will only clear up in January. So I was left afloat and decided to do freelance gigs here and there. Plus, health issues. My husband never left his old position, so our financial situation wasn’t affected at all with me leaving my part-time position, but I didn’t tell immigration at that time. I didn’t know I had to, since I’m on a Spouse Visa.
Is it likely that I’ll be denied PR when informing them in the coming days? While still having to pay the 8000yen?

We have no way to know, since we don’t work for immigration. You were supposed to notify them back when you quit your job, so you’re already not in a strong position. If you’d notified them, it might be ok, but they really don’t like it when you don’t keep them updated.
They may or may not ask you any questions about your situation. If they do, answer truthfully and accept the result.
I don’t think employment is a requirement for PR via spouse visa like it would be for a working visa, so the employment was just a detail or nice to have thing on your application. Most likely you will be OK.
Your job has 0 to do with your visa. You have a visa because you are married to a Japanese national. Immigration doesn’t care if you lounge around at home watching romance anime or if you switch jobs every week, has nothing to do with your immigration status.
The only things you can’t do is work specifically restricted to Japanese nationals.
