The new iMac with the M6 chip can be configured with a 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet port, which is built into the power adapter rather than the computer. The port is a $30 upgrade option for the lower-end iMac and comes standard with the higher-end model. The previous iMac had the same option, but the port was 1 Gigabit.

Just buy a $20 USB-C to 2.5G Ethernet adapter for the older iMac. Problem solved.
