He is very sociable, affectionate, loves a fuss and now seems to thoroughly enjoy seeing what's going on and who is doing what. I highly doubt he is the only horse in the world that likes to be nosey.
He began pacing a new paddock because he felt isolated from the yard in a new environment after being on a very busy yard, I can't quite see how individual t/o is the cause as he has never paced in the previous 3 years. As expressed numerous times, he is not a seasoned pacer/fence walker. Now he is, for the majority of the time, very settled but can get a bit stressed in an another new environment now and then. Again, highly doubtful he is the only horse that has had issues like this.
Why does it matter if he's not the only horse with this issue? If any other horse had this issue we'd be saying the same thing! You must be being purposely obtuse here?
Do you really think your horse would rather watch people muck out stables in the yard than be having a play with a couple of other horses?
And if you KNOW he's sociable, why is your decision to keep him on his own?
