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.

    You can hide the non-installing update with the PSWindowsUpdate PowerShell module. It will probably get superceeded anyway once Microsoft has a fix.

    #you might need one or more of the following:
#Install-PackageProvider -Name NuGet -MinimumVersion 2.8.5.201 -Force
#Install-Module PSWindowsUpdate -Force
Import-Module PSWindowsUpdate
Hide-WindowsUpdate -KBArticleID "KB5034441"

    Or direct download and run the Microsoft Update item Hide/Unhide software tool: https://download.microsoft.com/download/f/2/2/f22d5fdb-59cd-4275-8c95-1be17bf70b21/wushowhide.diagcab

    Mine was already at 508MB. I increased to 1024MB and the update succeeded.
