@BryanVanNorden Are there any living traditions of Huayen Buddhism? If somebody wants to "become" a Huayen Buddhist practitioner is that do-able?

The late Ven. Master Hsuan Hua (宣化大師), founder of the City of Ten Thousand Buddhas (萬佛聖城), was also a major proponent of the Avataṃsaka Sūtra and Huayan broadly. I have a few years of experience with this community.

That said, lineages are mostly derived from the Chan school in Chinese Buddhism, even among those communities whose practices are predominantly Pure Land, Huayan, esoteric, etc. Generally speaking, Chinese Buddhism is highly syncretic, in my experience.
