unless you're using the same conduit to run electrical (which some places tend to do)

Not for voltage issues really - your ethernet barely carries an electrical charge in comparison to actual electrical cables (but obviously can carry a surge).
Admittedly I'm not at an engineer's or electrician's level of understanding electricity, but as I understood it if there is too much difference between ground voltage at either end of a cable, it can create unwanted current to flow, and the drain wire in shielded cable prevents this. I know that ground loops are an issue inside the same house on different circuits with audio equipment, so I guess I don't get why it would or wouldn't be a problem for network equipment.

Your electrical knowledge is well above mine, so I cannot speak on some of what you're asking. EE was my father's field, I'm purely IT.
That said, I have seen grounded ethernet cables when they've run outdoors but that's rare. I know you can go unshielded in a direct burial, but I've been running fiber for years now for my outdoor cabling to avoid worrying about the scenarios for each type.
This blog is from someone smarter than me at this. It probably answers your questions.
How to fix a ground loop
I used to know a lot more but honestly haven't used ethernet outdoors in a long time.
