@stephenw10 They certainly have a lot more scope for overheating, though personally I've only had one fail on me and it was a dirt cheap model off eBay.
I have an Aquantia model running off that i5-8250U appliance at the moment as I decided if I weren't going to replace my router with it, might as well replace the old router I was using as a switch with a Linux box with the ports bridged and ~3.6Gbit uplink over that adapter.
