FYI in terms of sustainable options I was able to find a very hard to find .deb with the latest driver as a DKMS module. It works fine for me on Ubuntu 19.10. I really wish this was in a repository which was part of universe but I'm never figured out how to do things like that.
# dpkg -l | grep e1000e
ii e1000e-dkms 3.6.0 all Intel e1000e Ethernet adapter driver (DKMS version)
