Allow to add list items by adding them to the exported Excel document from the Bulk Edit Metadata tool and importing it.

Because I had over 1k new items to add, would make sense to follow the suggested steps.
Instead, I created a new list/App "Import" > imported the items from excel to populate the new list > then I used Sharegate to copy the new items from the new list to my destination list > after completed, I deleted the Import list. -

For anyone finding this post - "Adding items" could be done using the Quick Edit in SharePoint. Recopy any one of the existing rows and keep on duplicate it until you have added enough "dummy" records. Export the list using Sharegate and then edit in Excel i.e. update the dummy records to the real data that needs to be added - and re-import back to SharePoint.
