Beyond Compare has a feature called "alignment override" which allows me to specify a regex rule for matching items with different names. Folders on my destination have prefixes which I want to ignore.

For example, I can specify that a source folder called 202010_FooBar1 should be synced to destination folder FooBar1 by specifying that \d\d\d\d\d\d_(.*) aligns with $1

The only similar option I see in unison is rootalias but this seems to require manually specifying every pair of folders.

Any way to do this with regex? Or is there some other tool which has this feature as well as detecting moved items?

After using Unison for awhile now, I'm going to confidently say No, Unison does not support such a feature. Unison doesn't just compare files, but synchronizes them, so allowing such a feature would create syncing conflicts in many many cases.
