MoCA is great but the downside is that requires two active components. And leveraging PoE becomes impossible.

Also, why not replace the coax cable with UTP? Tape some fish tape to your coax cable, and gently pull the coax cable on the other end. Then ape some UTP to the other end of the fish tape and pull again slowly. Pretty easy actually.

True but if you don’t care about another power brick on both ends… it’s a quick, dirty, fast and effective way to bring wired Ethernet to every room with a cable jack.

Cable that was installed when the house was built is usually stapled to the studs, making it close to impossible to simply pull out unfortunately.

I'm not familiar with this type of construction. Where I live any wiring is run through pipes.
