Yes, why not?

I also doubt we are doing to have 800GBit/s on RJ-45 copper any time
soon. And speed-indication is generally only needed for media which
supports more than one speed (ie. twisted copper pair).

I agree on that, it would be an additional patch though because that
obviously goes beyond adding some more speeds.
