I reckon I'll just get some tyvek from this guy: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/282511928071
Dunno if I'll bother with the loops, just get the sheet. 3m x 1.4m should do for our tent, with a bit of trimming maybe.

Sure it will be fine. I think it is tyvek that feels like paper, I couldn't get on with it. Cheap enough for you to bin if you can't use it anyway.

Oh and maybe you know, but don't let it overhang (not the right word) the tent outer. When/if it rains it will collect and pool water!

I've bought from that seller in the past. Skipped the loops.
Was someone on here with a roll of tyvek recently. Might be worth a search.

Tyvek and another ultralite one I didn't like. The best ones I have used are a super cheap and heavy blue tarp thing and an actual tent groundsheet with reinforced peg holes (that was from a different shaped tent). You want something that will fold easily and be able to take plenty of wear and tear. Doesn't even really have to be the exact dimensions of the tent, just fold it under. I have also used a groundsheet as a separate place to sit, improvised rear mudguard, windguard etc. Everything depends on the conditions you camp in/on from shit to perfect. The point is to protect your tent floor and maybe give you a clean floor for the porch area, no need to overthink it.
