Pairs of stations often have a large height difference between them.

Do they? I don't recall there being a mountain range e.g. between
Shepherds Bush H&C and Shepherds Bush Central Line.

Whyteleafe to Upper Warlingham is a bit of a climb. A cable car there would
be quite fun, actually...

But in general, cable cars (like paternosters) are suitable for a continuous
dribble of traffic, not for the intermittent crowds that leave stations.
