The HDMI standard has it (and the cable generation shouldn't matter, as long as it has all pins connected), but does anything actually implement that Ethernet channel?

The pair used by Ethernet was optional until it was repurposed for eARC (high-bandwidth audio backhaul to a receiver/soundbar). Early-version HDMI cables were available in both "with Ethernet" and "without Ethernet" flavors.
