I did applied a patches to enable unplug/activation. Specifically:
https://github.com/QubesOS/qubes-vmm-xen-windows-pvdrivers/pull/4/files#diff-df9d6fe63e3f53cb993b34892589859b0eaf153875b49e4daebad00a5e9c0f75
https://github.com/marmarek/win-xennet/commit/33b2650052428df663a6e96f82cdbcbb664c1059
https://github.com/marmarek/win-xenvbd/commit/c86bc2780f9e34eaf14b25315d12e0340a18912c

Have I missed something?

As for binaries, unfortunately artifacts from that build were removed
already:
https://gitlab.com/QubesOS/qubes-continuous-integration/-/jobs/10846671186
but the one I just pushed is here:
https://gitlab.com/QubesOS/qubes-vmm-xen-windows-pvdrivers/-/jobs/10871856835/artifacts/browse/artifacts/repository/vm-win10/
(vmm-xen-windows-pvdrivers have drivers,
installer-qubes-os-windows-tools has the whole installer assembled)
