I started adding an additional headlamp flashlight to my bags - in an emergency I may need my hands available. Has been the better choice when there's something I need to fix or work on at night.

Not OP, but I have a small AA/14500 flashlight I can clip to my hat, so usually I dont need a dedicated headlamp.

I carry a second flashlight in my backpack that has 5000mah 21700 cell, USB C port, and has a powerbank function. It also has a silicone diffusor for lantern use and a magnet (Wurkkos TS21, can recommend)

Ah! But then you need a dedicated hat. 😆 Definitely an additional +1 to any kit.

Also, what's this second flashlight with a silicone diffusor? Got a model/name for it?
