I'm in the process of installing a hydronic unit heater in my garage which is being supplied by the boiler in my house which has a taco air separator.
Question is would their be any benefit to adding a tee with a hy vent in the return line which is by far the highest point in the system

On the unit heater, should be a supply and return connection. Whichever is the highest one. If connections are at the same level on the unit, either will work
As long as you have 5 psi or more at that vent, you should not pull air in.
Assuming near boiler piping is correct, pumping away from the expansion tank
A manual vent would work, you should only need to purge it once on start up if you have a good air purger, shown by Steve, at the boilerBob "hot rod" Rohr
