With your kind of clue, I would happily vote you as (temporary) king of the internet. ;)

From what I can tell it's still only Marvell that is trying to put high performance enough CPUs into HGWs to do forwarding in CPU (which can do CAKE), all others still rely on packet accelerators to achieve the desired speeds.
As far as I can tell intel is pushing atom/x86 cores into its docsis SoCs (puma5/6/7) as well as into the high-end dsl SoCs (formerly lantiq, https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/smart-home/anywan-grx750-home-gateway-brief.html?wapkw=grx750), I am quite confident that those also pack enough punch for CPU based routing at Gbps-rates. In docsis modems these are already rolled-out, I do not know of any DSL modem/router that uses the GRX750

The main challenge is communicating the relevant information back to the sender upon receipt, ideally without increasing overhead in the TCP/IP headers.

They do have ECN feedback mechanisms in their proposal, have you read it? It's a whole suite of documents, architecture, AQM proposal, transport proposal, the entire thing.

Call me naive, but the solution to the impasse at getting a common definition of diffserv agreed upon is replacing all TCP CC algorithms? This is replacing changing all endpoints (and network nodes) to honor diffserve with changing all endpoints to use a different TCP CC. At least I would call that ambitious.... (unless L4S offers noticeable advantages for all participating without being terribly unfair to the non-participating legacy TCP users*).
Best Regards
Sebastian
*) Well, being unfair ad out-competing the legacy users would be the best way to incentivize everybody to upgrade, but that would also be true for a better diffserve scheme...
