Do you see the high packet loss without the virtualization?
I can't check that easily right now, will try later.
Can you please share the lspci output?
Sure:

Do you have mei modules running? Can you try if disabling them make things better?
Does your switch/link partner support flow control? if it is configurable can you try to enable it?
It does support it. Enabling it makes things much worse...
Do you see any errors in dmesg related to the e1000e driver?
Not really. dmesg | grep 'e1000e|ens7':
