OK, this is starting to get worrisome. This _looks_ like your index is somehow corrupt. Let's back up a bit:
Before you do the ADDREPLICA, is your system healthy? That is, do you have at least one leader for each shard that's "active"? You say it looks OK for a while, can you successfully query the cluster? Can you successfully query every individual replica (use &distrib=false and point at specific cores to verify this). I'd pull out the CheckIndex tool, here's a brief KB on it: https://support.lucidworks.com/hc/en-us/articles/202091128-How-to-deal-with-Index-Corruption to verify at least one replica for each shard. Note the caveat there, the "-fix" option WILL DROP segments it doesn't think are OK, so don't use it yet. So let's assume you can run this successfully on at least one replica for each shard. I'd disable all other replicas then and restart my Solrs. The "trick" to disabling them is to find the associated "core.properties" file and name it something else. Don't worry, this won't remove data or anything and you can get it back by going back and renaming it back to "core.properties" and restarting your Solrs. This is "core discovery", see: https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/solr/Defining+core.properties. You've wisely stopped indexing so the cores won't be out of sync. The goal here is to have a healthy, leader-only cluster that you totally know is OK, you can query it & etc. If you get this far, try the ADDREPLICA again. Let's assume that you can do this, then it's really up to you whether to just ADDREPLICA and build up your cluster again and just nuke all the old replicas or try to recover the old ones. Mind you, this is largely shooting in the dark since this is very peculiar. Did you have any weird errors, disk full and the like? Note that looking at your current disk is insufficient since you need up to as much free space on your disk as your indexes already have.
