Also, NetworkManager might have something to do with this, because if I right-click the NW applet -> Edit Connections, I do have a connection named eth0, but if I try to edit that, the device MAC address is
00:0c:f1:bc:29:fe (em1)
So NW somehow likes em1, despite all my efforts. If I stop and disable NW, then the network does not even start upon boot, as it should. How do I tell NW to leave my network alone and still have the network start upon boot?
If you disable NM, you need to enable network. From a local console (in other words, don't do this over a network session like ssh):
systemctl disable NetworkManager.service systemctl stop NetworkManager.service systemctl enable network systemctl start network
