Have external GPUs ever been a real thing? (Gaming)

They definitely are a thing. They actually used to be more common, but now-a-days if anyone goes down that route it is more likely for them to get something like a PCIe box that's run off of thunderbolt or USB 3 and then just put a graphics card in it. If you get thunderbolt it's honestly barely slower than what most systems would be able to handle anyway. Now, whether your computer can get drivers for the cards is another question entirely.
