Rigidbody2D: Follow other Rigidbody2D strictly
I want to do something that actually sounds pretty simple: Make one Rigidbody2D follow another Rigidbody2D strictly, so that they have the same position, collisions and general behaviour.
Using rb2d.position = other.position; (rb2d and other both being of type Rigidbody2D and having the exact same configuration) inside FixedUpdate leads to other being behind rb2d not just visually, but also collisions differ: 
In this picture, pink is other, and it collides at a different distance than rb2d.
I tried setting the velocity of rb2d in Update instead of FixedUpdate, I tried following in Update instead of FixedUpdate, I tried different ScriptExecutionOrders, nothing worked.
When I use transforms to realize the follow inside Update, there is no visually visible distance between the two, but the collisions do differ.
My use case is that I want to make a platformer with a player reflection following strictly on the x-axis but differing on the y-axis, but I ran into problems with the reflection glitching through platforms due to the physics differences to the player.
I attached a small sample project containing the logic from which the screenshot was taken.

You need to execute the follower script on Update, and make sure its execution happens after RigidBody2D. And here's the kicker, the reflection should really not be a rigidbody. If it's not actually doing any calculations, it should at worst be a kinematic rigidbody, and use the MovePosition command.
Last thing, you can do reflections using two cameras, you do not need to duplicate all your objects.
