If you want, you cam email the site mod at mike@behindthename.com about adding it. I emailed the email for adding Rusyn as a usage and it was added, because there were other usages on the site that were of the same frequency. If you think there should be a specification for Ashkenazi Jewish since it's different from other kinds of Jewish names, you can email there and it might be changed on the site.

I submit a lot of last names on this site. Is there any specific category Polish-Jewish last names should go in aside from just 'Jewish'?

I'd choose "Yiddish" with style option "Polonized"

Now that I think about it, there should probably be a Polish (Jewish) option for the surname site.

You can try to submit them as Yiddish and Polonized if they're exclusively Jewish and polish
