I was really surprised to discover that removing my TU-2 from my signal chain dropped the noise floor substantially. My thought to fix it is to add an A/B box to split it out from the rest of my effects. Is this a good idea, and if so, what's the best value in silent switch boxes? I had considered JHS and Donner, but I'm open to anything. I could buy a new tuner, but then I'm taking a chance on something much more costly and for relatively little benefit.

I’m surprised it adds noise to the chain. Maybe it’s the buffer not playing well with something else in the chain?
Rather than buying an a/b box you could try a new true bypass tuner, I’m sure they are on sale these days, and sell your TU2 if it solves the issue. I think the Korg is TB.

By and large and with a few notable exceptions (SD-1 bleeds sound into the bypass on some settings, some of the older ACA pedals like the PSM-5 really sucked balls) Boss buffers that I've used have generally been pretty good.
FWIW - I have the Korg Pitchblack Custom tuner. It works well, is easy to see, and is true bypass.Join me in the fight against muscular atrophy!

Many solutions were suggested for this problem, but most of these were largely concerned with the movements of small green pieces of paper, which is odd because on the whole it wasn't the small green pieces of paper that were unhappy.

If you are daisy chaining the tuner may have been putting noise into the DC voltage that was getting picked up by other pedals, it may not have been noisy itself. You can test this by putting a battery in it and putting it back in the chain.
