Yes, well aware of it, that's actually very nice for building higher levels of the webserver.

I'd really like to have a complete forth machine dealing with everything, say on an esp32. I guess there's FreeRTOS, so I could use that network layer, but bare metal would be so much cooler. I admit I don't even understand how it would work - would I have to bit-bang the ethernet lines?

You interface with SoC's peripherals rather than bit-bang lines. You can think of them as a kind of memory mapped APIs.
