Can you measure your HDD life expectancy based on your previous experience?
For larger systems, e.g., home lab, or production system, you could also employ some monitoring like prtg (https://www.paessler.com/snmp_trap_receiver?gclid=Cj0KCQjw852XBhC6ARIsAJsFPN2n8ULZRtls8WK2Y_vQvXd3QAhfSyJkWxhmc3PGSZDxm-sYXYeawRcaAvvLEALw_wcB) or netxms (https://www.netxms.org/).

Any good monitoring tool can monitor Windows Hyper-V cluster, specifically its storage S2D?
We use netxms tools for hyper-V cluster monitoring: https://www.netxms.org/. You can configure there absolutely everything. A lot of our customers use Storage Spaces, so it is included in the monitoring. Also, you can combine a few tools to get more precise results.

I was going to buy two 8tb drives to replace my 16 1tb backup drives. But I have four 4tb's in my server with a few hundred days on them each. Should I just replace the server drives with 8tb's and use the old 4's for the backup replacement?
I think we might need to look into it too at some point. I was using thing called netxms (https://www.netxms.org/) in my system but that was rather reactive approach. It was looking into the logs for me, tracking for SCSI senses, latencies, RAID degraded, etc. If you see the last in the log, you are already pretty much close to getting screwed. Still, it's a good open-source solution I inherited from the previous admin. Helped us a lot.

What's a really niche tool you use that you can't live without?
I made BackDrop to solve this. If I have, for example, two folders and two drives, and one folder fits on each drive, I don't want to fill one drive and then spill over to the second drive if it means splitting one folder between two drives. I want the cleanest way possible to copy data to as few drives as possible without splitting folders if they don't need to be.

Is there software for automating swapping data between mostly full disks?
Just leaving this here in case it could be of some use. https://github.com/TechGeek01/BackDrop

Differential backups when 2 drives cannot be directly compared/synced
I wrote BackDrop a while back. While this was originally because I was looking for a way to backup to external drives where the data being backed up was larger than the drives, and required splitting between more than one drive, it's evolved since.
- I updated BackDrop to support arbitrary folders instead of just drive letters!
- The backup tool I wrote now supports Linux, and selecting multiple sources. Thought you guys might find it useful!

Various backup methods?
For manual copies, TeraCopy is awesome, cause you can have it verify files for you. I did actually write my own tool, though that was mostly so that I didn't have to think about handling not all files fitting on one drive (5-6TB of stuff, and a mix of 2-4TB drives). It may or may not suit you, but feel free to give it a look if you're interested. Currently it was designed to back up folders on a network share to a bunch of local drives, so unfortunately, it won't show local drives for source selection (though I'm working on making it able to do that).
