Tunable rx exists in pluggable format, but it is called 100G coherent :-)

I would find tunable rx useful for 1/10G (eliminate DCM, power-splitter
based WDM etc), but not sure there is enough market for the product to
exist. Closest I got was inline FBG fiber patch. There are manufacturers
for these.
