OK, only for reference, this is how I made it work on 2019 without generating an exception:

def send_devtools(driver, cmd, params={}):
    resource = "/session/%s/chromium/send_command_and_get_result" % driver.session_id
    url = driver.command_executor._url + resource
    body = json.dumps({'cmd': cmd, 'params': params})
    response = driver.command_executor._request('POST', url, body)
    #print (response)
    if (response.get('value') is not None):
        return response.get('value')
    else:
        return None

def save_as_pdf(driver, path, options={}):
    # https://timvdlippe.github.io/devtools-protocol/tot/Page#method-printToPDF
    result = send_devtools(driver, "Page.printToPDF", options)
    if (result is not None):
        with open(path, 'wb') as file:
            file.write(base64.b64decode(result['data']))
        return True
    else:
        return False
