I think the GNOME Firmware app should be a suitable replacement. It also uses fwupd/LVFS for firmware updates:

The GNOME Software app that's included in Zorin OS should also check for and be able to install firmware updates.

I downloaded it on Virtualbox and didn't see any updates for Intel Management Engine, which the firmware update manager is currently griping about, but the mechanisms it uses to check could be obscured. I'll give a try on one of my other computers and see how it goes.
