Yes, 503 errors are the Musicbrainz server being overwhelmed and not responding. For a while changing scraper settings to use a mirror improved things, but I don't think that works now because there have been schema changes that MB have not progagated to the virtual images. It is all up to them to fix this.

It could help matters for Kodi to change the way it manages scraped data between versions, improve import/export and NFO use and generally reduce the amount of server traffic that it generates. However that is further down the line, and fundamentally we still need Musicbrainz to serve up the data in the first place, the Universal Scraper(s) rely on this.
Meanwhile repeated attampts should eventually fetch the additional data. Beware that there is a bug in v16 (and before) so that "Query info for all..." only works when you have either just powered up or done a library update (check, there does not need to be any changes). Just repeatedly clicking on "Query info for all..." does not do anything after the first attempt.
Use of The AudioDB for some of the infomation is a Universal Scraper setting, it optionally checks a number of sources depending on how it is configured.
