Japanese train etiquette: Is it acceptable to take a baby in the Shinkansen Green Car?

Yes, it is acceptable. However, it is etiquette that if the baby does start to make noise that you take it to the “deck” area beyond the doors (where the bathrooms, telephone, vending machines, etc.) are.

This is the same protocol if you have to make or receive a telephone call, want to have a loud conversation with your seatmate, or do anything that might disturb other passengers.

I should note that this has nothing to do with the green car — the main cars nominally operate under these protocols, it’s just that the other passengers (and conductors) are less likely to enforce them.
