None that I've heard of, but don't forget that you can shoot color negative film and print on B&W paper (or desaturate the colors in post processing).

It looks like XP2 Super is the only one being currently produced.
Kodak's BW400CN & T400CN were discontinued years ago.

It's a frustrating, disappointing endeavor though.

Except that BW paper is not panchromatic, so results are unpredictable, and tend to be grainy. Oh, that panalure could return!

It sure is if you try it with VC paper.

No. Agfa and Kodak did, but no longer.

Graded, too. Something like Panalure - yes. But those days are long gone.
