Is there a workaround for KB5034441 install failure that doesn't require partition modification?

We know about the failure of KB5034441, and the recent recommendations to modify a partition as a workaround. As an old school practitioner (since 3.1 came on floppies), and having crashed many a hard disk, modifying a partition seems rather extreme for an update workaround, unsafe, and IMHO highly NOT recommended. My questions are:

Is there another workaround or fix to KB5034441 not installing?
How important is this update seeing how update Tuesday is in just a few days?

Edition: Windows 10 Enterprise

UPDATE: Tuesday 2/27/2024
The issue was resolved by enabling the TPM is BIOS to allow the operating system to access the TPM. Nothing was done to modify partitions from the default install size. Currently I have a 50MB NTFS System partition, a 465GB Primary partition, and a 546MB Recovery partition.
Looking in the Update history, KB5034441 installed correctly. Kudos to 1proggy, below, for coming up with the answer for my system.

    That's because you are. We all are. Both think they can continue to get away with this extortion. Anyway, uSoft was right: Windows 10 will be the last version of Windows I will need. Others may be willing continue on the squirrel cage, but I'm off.

    I beleive that's some of the problem but I also beleive that if the recovery partition doesn't have enough space it will not install mine was at 512mb increased it to 1024 and had no more problems

    You may have just solved it 1proggy. The laptop is a Dell E5530 (2013). There is a TPM but in BIOS it is deactivated. Sadly in the interim since I started this post thread, the hard drive developed a thermal issue. An EVO 870 is on it's way and I'll update this thread if the issue gets fixed by enabling the TPM.

    Hi,

    I would advise resizing your recovery partition to just under 900 MByte at first try, then if necessary 1.25 GByte. If you have an Intel 805xx processor-based system you probably will not succeed.
