To protect from shifting in-flight or draining the battery, would unplugging the front and rear derailleurs be enough? Do I need to do anything with the shifters or unplug the junction box?

I've double-checked the airline policy and the Di2 battery is well below their allowed watt-hour limit for in-equipment batteries.
Well best practice is that yes you unplug the Di2 cables. I am not aware of any airline making you remove the battery, but either way it's a pain and just another reason SRAM AXS is superior
