Do you add product images into your articles and if yes do you get from amazon or you manually add them? What is the ratio of informative/money articles on your website?

Don't download images from Amazon to use manually, its against terms of service I think. I think you can only use amazon photos through their ads or an API.
Try to go to the manufacturers website

I find images on Amazon and manually add them.
Ratio 60-40 or 70-30 in some other sites.

So, informative articles are more than product review articles?

Amazon released an announcement regarding their guidelines for reviews.
They're going to be cracking down quite a bit on “low-authority” or “lower-value” review sites.
The idea is that they want to push publishers to offer more value to their visitors.
You can look up the guidelines.
I don’t have the URL on me, but I have seen it, and it seems pretty straightforward.
It’s guided by the same philosophy behind the EAT and YMYL guidelines.
The idea is value.
The spam update that you're talking about is geared more towards scraped web pages and low-quality spun pages that people put up by the hundreds of thousands for backlink purposes.
I wouldn't think that the spam update would have much of an impact on Amazon affiliate sites, but I could be wrong.
As far as I know, the bigger challenge is the “review site” guidelines that Google has.
They're going to take a harder look at review sites to see if they have enough actual authority to be rewarded higher rankings.
One way to get around this is to just come up with a ton of informative or buyer guide type of content that don’t really recommend one product over another.
These then internally link to the actual payload pages on your site, which are either single product reviews or multi-product reviews.
