While I can’t direct you to any specific DOCSIS 3.0 modem, I can answer/clarify a couple of things.

For D3.1, the cable modem is required to implement DOCSIS-PIE to manage upstream queues (a variant of PIE, google it if you want the details). The manufacturer can optionally implement other algorithms if they choose to, but DOCSIS-PIE is required to be the default AQM.  The CMTS in D3.1 is required to implement AQM to manage downstream queues, but the algorithm choice is left to the manufacturer.

While different D3.0 modems will likely show different amounts of upstream bufferbloat, they will not have any impact on downstream bufferbloat.
