There may be newer products around Al, but whether they work any better is
anyone's guess. Copper Cote works just fine in my opinion.

No, a polyester polyol compound.

The one we used for gaskets came in an orange or red coloured squeaze tube
IIRC.

My V twin Pantah engine doesn't have head gaskets and it has removable heads.

Most of my bikes haven't either.
But, if the head is removable, it's possible there will be a problem
with the cylinder/head interface. Unlikely, but possible, especially if
the assembler isn't careful to keep it all very clean. Actually, it's a
very good system for air-cooled engines. I saw a 2litre VW with no
gaskets, the earlier ones had copper rings on the cylinder top spigot.
