Good news everyone, I found such a board: Intel DG43GT.
Well, I didn't physically find one but I found the manual
online. And some coreboot repo even had the vbt handily
available. And yes, it does show the same DDC pins being
used for the DVI-D port and CRT port. So I guess given
that these digital checks do make some sense.
