Pihole v6
I'm using https://github.com/vmstan/gravity-sync to sync my three piholes but I'll need to find a replacement if I upgrade to pihole v6.

Sync Local DNS and Lists on second pihole - latest way?
OR I could implement https://github.com/vmstan/gravity-sync as it's last commit was a year ago but users still seem to be using it.

Is it possible to have 2x DHCP servers with Pi-Hole + Gravity Sync?
I run the split DHCP approach for years without issues. Having only one PiHole with DHCP Server doesn’t give you a fully redundant system. I don’t use Gravity Sync myself, but their wiki covers this case with examples: https://github.com/vmstan/gravity-sync/wiki/DHCP-Replication

Two piholes and both with unbound?
the github page has a really good walkthrough and explanation

Running PiHole on a second server
I don't have anything add to your question. But I recommend installing gravity-sync if you're going to run two piholes. It will sync up DNS entries (among other things) automatically to the second pihole when you add a entry one of them. https://github.com/vmstan/gravity-sync

how much traffic would you expect to go to secondary pihole?
If you go the 2 pihole route, I strongly recommend Gravity-Synch. https://github.com/vmstan/gravity-sync

Setting up a second Pi-hole as backup/redundancy
Add keepalived to the equation and you have a single dns IP address with failover. Basically, keepalived points both Pi-holes towards a virtual IP address. If your “primary” goes down, keepalived will push your “secondary” to the virtual ip, and your devices will keep on ticking.
What are some alternatives?
When comparing gravity-sync and pi-hole-keepalived you can also consider the following projects:
