So I am about the get one of these and I want to figure out what
options they’re for NIC upgrades. I know there are USB dongles that
could do this but I’d like an internal card.
What are you guys using? My main plan is the run this as a
virtualization host and I don’t want the network bandwidth to be the
bottleneck.

Just search Ebay/Aliexpress/Amazon for:
M.2 A+E Key 2.5G Ethernet LAN Card RTL8125B

I've used these on various Dell Optiplex/Precision mini and SFF
computers and they have all worked with no issue (I'd recommend you
get the right angle version to prevent clearance issues).
