I'm using Win 8.1 Pro and I'd like to essentially disable to standard taskbar and use the DisplayFusion taskbar on both screens. I didn't see an option for this within the settings. Thoughts?

As Display Fusion replicates the taskbar, you cannot disable the Windows taskbar and have two or three DF taskbars. Maybe a member of the Admin team has a work around.
What does your DF taskbar do that is different to your Windows taskbar?

I like that my DisplayFusion taskbar can be set to a certain transparency and also that right clicking anywhere on the DF taskbar brings up all of the DF settings. Those are the two main things that I have noticed so far, but I'm still not even 24hrs into being a DisplayFusion user

Right clicking on the DF taskbar is the same as right clicking any app. The options you get are app specific.

It is sort of possible to replace the Windows taskbar with the DisplayFusion taskbar. I've written up instructions at the link below, but please note that it's not a supported feature, so we can't guarantee the stability of it. That being said, I've had a bunch of customers try it and report that it works well for them

Hope that helps!
