I upgraded the motherboard on my server running promox 7.2-11 (B550D4-4L).
IP link shows the following interfaces:
Connecting an ethernet cable to ANY of the interfaces aside from enp41s0 (and slaving it to vmbr0 in /etc/network/interfaces) results in the port continuing to show as down in ip link. Initially I thought it could be the motherboard ports being defective, however the exact same behavior is exhibited from a known good PCIe NIC.
I can pass the NIC through to VMs fine however havent had the chance to test if they are able to connect using it (will try next time im at the DC). When the PCIe NIC is passed back to the host, the device reappears in lspci however the interfaces do not return.
No lights activate on the ports, which implies no attempt is made to negotiate a link. No output in journalctl or dmesg is generated when disconnecting or connecting the cable.
Additionally, enp41s0 will just outright vanish after a seemingly random period of time (first time was after a minute, most recent time was after 6 days) if it is used. There is no drop in connection prior, the machine remains fully connected until the interface disappears. The only dmesg log about this is "enp41s0 left promiscuous mode".

IP link shows the following interfaces:
enp34s0 | onboard Intel i210 |
enp35s0 | onboard Intel i210 |
enp36s0 | onboard Intel i210 |
enp41s0 | onboard Intel i210 shared with IPMI |
enp1s0f0 | PCIe NIC, 2x Intel 82576 |
enp1s0f1 | PCIe NIC, 2x Intel 82576 |
enx269685a21b18 | likely the IPMI dedicated LAN? Not sure why its visible |
