Intel made a line of EthernetExpress NIC's that would autodetect slot
type and autoconfigure for 8/16 bit slots. I'm using one in my Tandy
1000SX that's connected to the internet.

Some of them can do that. I have a 16-bit ISA VGA card from Western
Digital that will do it too.
Other than memory cards, quite a few of the 16bit boards from the
mid 1980's will work in an 8bit ISA slot, either by changing a jumper
or through the board autodetecting the slot type. Western Digital /
Paradise chipset VGA boards are known for this.
