I wondered whether musixtex can be used for tablature
notation.

The tex-music archive has references to

http://icking-music-archive.org/software/musixtex/add-ons/tabdefs.tex

but this isn't usable as is. Has anyone been able to use
this (or a comparable set of macros) with modern musixtex?

I've been using tabdefs.tex decades ago for my modern edition of Orazio Vecchi's 'Selva' incl. a number of pieces with lute parts in tablature notation, for example

The tablature staff doesn't compile properly any more.
