But if it was hypothetically a separate timeline, it would still include everything DCU/DCEU, so what would be the point of making 2?
To see where the extended universe stuff fit into the overall timeline.

But you could just… put it on the first one
Yeah but I don't like not separating non-canon stuff from the canon timeline. Also, most likely eventually the two timelines will become incompatible anyway.

Can I say something slightly political for a second?
Remember how the public quickly turned on Superman and later on loved him after Lex was ousted?
Play into that, Gunn. Much of humanity has the memory of goldfish and will conform to uncomfortable and extreme realities when confronted with them.
You have a certain someone whose first letter starts with "Asmongold" who gets millions of views cherry picking info and ignoring the rest while telling people "Everything ain't that bad, y'all." Which is not true...
(Not saying you need a parody version of him, maybe Gordon Godfrey of Apokolips with similar talking points to brainwash the people; but that's leaning in a bit too much.)
That's how Lex eventually becomes President after saving the world with Superman from Brainiac and winning back trust from people.
The Justice League will come into existence not only as a fighting force against the worst of the worst, but social heroes akin to the Super Friends who are extremely friendly to the press and public. Lex will wanna counter that with the DCU version of Legion of Doom / The Light.
Show us a reflection of humanity as the driving point for the DCU without anything that's too real or depressing.

Also, the Anti-Life Equation is the ultimate conformity to the worst possible reality.
The potential is there.

... so long as we don't end up with something like an adaptation of DCeased (DC's answer to Marvel Zombies), that is.
