Intel I211 passthrough in a macOS Unraid VM

I recently setup a macOS Mojave VM in Unraid using SpaceInvaderOne's tutorial, and everything works surprisingly well, with the exception of internet performance. I get downloads of somewhere between 200 and 300Mbps, when I should be getting 800+. I know this is a limitation of vmxnet3, which is fine, but I also know that one of my NICs are supported with a third-party kext (IntelMausi). The NIC works fine in my primary hackintosh setup (which is installed directly to one of my SSDs).

I have the network card passing through to the VM, and the kext in Clover's kext folder. However, vmxnet3 continues to be the only devices listed in System Information, when I assume both vmxnet3 and the Intel I211 NIC should be visible. Is there something that I need to add to my XML configuration to get passthrough working? And is ethernet passthrough even possible in a macOS VM?
