UH-Manoa have made a case for a relationship between the eruptive cycles of the two volcanoes...
Yes.. and there is an earlier paper.. that focuses on Earthquake-eruption interaction on Mauna Loa that mentions a perceived relationship, almost in passing at the end of the paper..

And still earlier, by the same authors, that specifically focuses on the Interaction between Kilauea and Mauna Loa
https://www.nature.com/articles/421229a
And references in both to others.
There is a lot of evidence there is a sympathetic relationship between them though I think the one mountain takes away from the other theory is a simplistic interpretation of a much more complicated relationship. Even the first, more recent, paper sites by Chunkster goes on about simultaneous activity as well. But I agree.. how things develop now that Kilauea has depressurized will be interesting..
