But I can't see how to get the highlights and bookmarks to sync without that - none of the books on the new device have their bookmarks.

I think you just need to have iCloud option for Books turned on.
The Reading Now can be on, if you also want that status synced. If you also want book to upload to iCloud Drive then turn on iCloud option for Books settings.

To keep your Books information updated across your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch, sign with the same Apple ID on each device, then do the following:- Sync Reading position, bookmarks, notes, and highlights: Go to Settings > [your name] > iCloud, then turn on both iCloud Drive and Books.
- Sync Reading Now, Library, and collections: Go to Settings > [your name] > iCloud, and turn on both iCloud Drive and Books. Then go to Settings > Books, and turn on Reading Now.

Of course, that assumes it works as described.
