Thanks for the documented answer! It is really appreciated and you found some pretty cool information! I guess I didn't look well enough for some documentation on the TC4400.
From the first link, I suppose that the TC4400 doesn't have MoCA 2.0 otherwise they would have mentioned it like they did for the CGA4233.
As for the coexistence between DOCSIS 3.1 and MoCA 2.0, I think that it won't be compatible with the GoCOAX if it's sharing the same coaxial network. Here's a comment by the Company's reddit account : https://www.reddit.com/r/HomeNetworking/comments/fp4ayk/need_help_with_my_moca_set_up/flkryw6?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x
From what I can gather in that comment, you'll need a direct line between the MoCA adapter and the router like in this picture : https://imgur.com/wVaWIiF. If I understand correctly, this would essentially mean that I would have to run a coaxial cable from my router to my MoCA adapter which would be the same thing as wiring an ethernet cable.
Since my post, I just bought a flat 100 ft CAT5e ethernet cable and wall clips to run the ethernet wire through the stairs. I'm also quite lucky as I have a house filled with Persian carpets which are great ethernet covers!
The GoCoax truly seemed like the best option from what I researched a month ago. I'll try the ethernet wiring and if I find it too cumbersome, I might just get myself GoCoax adapters provided that they work with my modem. They sell it on their website and it's about 60 USD each. They also sell the MoCA filter and coaxial splitter on their website! It actually comes less than the Actiontech MoCA kit which currently goes for 260$ on Amazon CA (it was 190$ a month ago, wow).
Update us when you'll have a GoCoax set-up especially if you have the same modem!

La borne Helix Fi a un adaptateur Moca Intégré. Je ne l'utilise pas personnellement mais un de mes amis l'utilise.
On peut l'activer dans les pages de configuration de la borne dans " Connection > MoCA "
