why would you need to connect an ethernet device to an esp module that can not route network connections (last time i check)?

One can recompile LWIP with (basic) routing option.

It has always been there ;)

I thought the tcp processing was too basic (no segment retransmission, because the amount of memory of the mega doesn't allow for that), but it appears the tcp handling of lwip isn't that much extended ;)

Tcp works well with telnet etc, on a lossless layer 2 network (with ethernet and wlan mostly are), but for "production" I'd recommend using udp with a timeout and retry.
