We use a light tarpaulin if we don't need breathable. Tarps are very cheap in the markets or agricultural merchants.

If the weather is fairly dry we tend to go "comando" to save the grass though.

Breathables are a complete waste of money.  Useless.

No, but spent the thick end of £50 on a breathable foam type groundsheet this Summer as the campsite "insisted" on them.  Rubbish.  Mud in, water in.  Dead grass underneath from all those before us without one.  Will stick to PVC unless we are forced not to in future.

We have never had a problem with our easy tread.  We have had just a little dampness on a couple of occasions when it has bee bad, but otherthan that, nothing.  Also, when you fetch it up, you do not fetch mud etc up with it.  Our always comes up virtually clean.
