Requesting a new Residence Card While in Japan

My residence card expired while I was outside Japan, and they say that I cannot renew it: I have to ask for a new one.
My plan is to go back to Japan as a tourist and request my family visa while there.
They should take up to 3 months to provide me the spousal visa to request a residence card, so I should be covered.

However my main concerns are that without a residence card I am limited as I cannot request the health insurance, but I should rely on a travel health insurance and most likely I cannot request a new sim card.

Are my concerns correct?
Do you know if it’s possible to have a temporary document that can replace my resident card until the burocracy does its flow or at least request the health insurance?

Thanks in advance.
