Generic 'Space Tug' rather than de-orbit tug might give some other options. E.G. Punt the decision a few more years. Maybe Starship works and other options get cheeper or we can even bring the ISS back to earth? Other options: Land it somewhere on the moon (maybe safely distant but conveniently near by other historic sites for a future Moon Museum?) Boost it out of the Sol system perpendicular to the plane, just a little above escape velocity. If we ever get better space ships it'll be waiting.
