I can relate to #38, having exactly the same setup with the same hassle. Why not simply add the functionality to set the Unity top bar  in the screen settings. There is an option for the Launcher Position (either Screen A or B or both) why not the same for Unity?
I hope this will be fixed with Unity 8.

Title:
  Multi-monitor - Panel and launcher visible on top of multimonitor non-
  focused fullscreen apps

Status in Ayatana Design:
  Fix Released
Status in Unity:
  Fix Released
Status in Unity 6.0 series:
  Won't Fix
Status in unity package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: unity

  See the attached screenshot.

  When an app is fullscreen (fullscreen, not maximized) on a monitor,
  but another program is focused on the other monitor, then the unity
  panel is displayed at when it shoudn't be.

  I appreciate this probably isn't a priority, but for a future release
  it would be good seeing as it's the little details that matter.

  ------------------------------
  Desired solution:

  - When an app is fullscreen (fullscreen, not maximized) on a monitor,
  but another program is focused on the other monitor, the unity menu
  bar should not be displayed on the monitor that is displaying the
  fullscreen app.

  - When fixing this bug, also look at bug #1065425

  WORKAROUND FOR THIS BUG:
  Turn "Always On Top" on via right-clicking the titlebar of your window, before making it go fullscreen.
  This will prevent the Unity panel from rendering on top of this fullscreen-window, when using the other screen.
