Can there even exist a TX-only Wifi module?

I think not!

All the protocols: TCP, ARP lookup, ... are two-way so I can't see that any manufacturer would bother...

I agree!

Update

I've done some searching, and confirmed that there is no such thing as 1-way WiFi:

WiFi(R) is a registered trademark of the Wi-Fi Alliance:

WLAN
