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
Version: 22H2
Installed on: ‎8/‎19/‎2020
OS build: 19045.3930
Experience: Windows Feature Experience Pack 1000.19053.1000.0

Elevated PS Script Command> Get-WindowsUpdate -Install -acceptall -IgnoreReboot

1 hostname Accepted KB5034441 23MB 2024-01 Security Update for Windows 10 Version 22H2 for x64-based Systems (KB5034441)
2 hostname Downloaded KB5034441 23MB 2024-01 Security Update for Windows 10 Version 22H2 for x64-based Systems (KB5034441)
3 hostname Failed KB5034441 23MB 2024-01 Security Update for Windows 10 Version 22H2 for x64-based Systems (KB5034441) (Error: 0x80070643)

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.

    Your partition is likely too small, or not recognized correctly, or a host of other recently discovered bugs in the KB5034441. On Microsoft/programmers failed release of this POS I believe we are in agreement.

    Excuse me, you misunderstood my intent. No amount of resizing/software/programming enables the Intel 805xx based processor systems that I have attempted to install the KB5034441 Windows Recovery Environment update on, even when I manually program the same upgrade (without Microsoft's buggy patch) into the Recovery partition on these (Intel 805xx) systems. All of my PC-systems have the Windows Recovery Environment correctly installed, regardless of KB5034441. Repeat, I program computers--for my entire career--not just fiddle around with PC/hardware/software installations.

    BTW, I first began programming using punch cards in 1969 for the IBM System/360 mainframe. I began my PC career later, at the same time/place, virtually as Gary Kildall. Lets suspend any pointless pi__ing contest(s) concerning computer/programming/hardware experience and solve problems.
