Are there any other examples of mechs where the pilot is kept suspended in what amounts to an artificial womb, controlling the mech through a neural interface?

That's literally Evangelion. The pilots float in a tank of amniotic fluid (albeit, amniotic fluid of a giant alien monstrosity) and control the Evangelion with a neural interface made from their mothers' souls. Oh, and they get in there by being inserted through a long phallic shaft. Evangelion is not terribly subtle.

Outside of Evangelion, Brain Powered is the other notable one

Personally, I think it's ridiculous to imagine that known mecha otaku Anno would have read and taken inspiration from previous mecha series.

A lot of mecha do this, not just evangelion.
Dreadnoughts anybody? The oldschool RT book actually mentions that the pilot cabin is a tank of 'amniotic fluid' and I believe the pilot takes the fetal position as well.
