Any advice for e1000e users?

Has the module been blacklisted? or are they using the patches floating around that reduces the (already small) risk of problems?

Yes, It has been blacklisted as noted in the release notes.

Sorry, I meant to note that. Just about every distributor shipping a 2.6.27-rc kernel has taken steps to avoid trashing users' hardware.
