So good so far.

This shows that the password of the RODC is correct in the domain,
which makes this strange:

This is the bit that will need further diagnosis.  It isn't as simple
wrong password, it will be something about how to connection is being
set up to DC2.

I would turn up the logs on the DC and see why it objects.

yes, because a preloaded user is locally cached.

net ads keytab isn't a supported part of the AD DC, this is tied to the
member server codebase and isn't hooked in to the DC credentials.

Likewise the 'use kerberos keytab' and similar smb.conf entries are not
used in the AD DC mode.

I hope this helps you figure out what is going on here.
