What if the future was to look back at the present and they only could find opinions on Oneness believers written by Trinitarians? Would they find a fair and unbiased treatment of Oneness beliefs?

Probably not. What would be most likely is that trinitarians would be represented in history as tritheist (which by some trini theologean's writing, it would indicate as much - i.e. Dake). The same goes by the monarchians in history. They have simply been represented as "heretical". But to whom are they heretical? The Roman Catholic church, and that's it.
The Paulicians were misrepresented as dualists, but this could simply be the Roman Catholic interpretation of their distinction between the humanity and deity of Christ. The histories written about the Paulicians are not conclusive. The resources you cite and are looking to are not conclusive. The only thing that can be conclusive as to their teaching is their own statement of faith, "
The Key of Truth". Let's take a look at that and see if they were indeed dualist.
