Using the recently derived higher spin gravitational Compton amplitude from low-energy analytically continued ($a/Gm\gg1$) solutions of the Teukolsky equation for the scattering of a gravitational wave off the Kerr black hole, observables for non-radiating super-extremal Kerr binary systems at second post-Minkowskian (PM) order and up to sixth order in spin are computed. The relevant 2PM amplitude is obtained from the triangle-leading singularity in conjunction with a generalization of the holomorphic classical limit for massive particles with spin oriented in generic directions. Explicit results for the 2PM eikonal phase written for both Covariant and Canonical spin supplementary conditions -- CovSSC and CanSSC respectively -- as well as the 2PM linear impulses and individual spin kicks in the CanSSC are presented. The observables reported in this letter are expressed in terms of generic contact deformations of the gravitational Compton amplitude, which can then be specialized to Teukolsky solutions. In the latter case, the resulting 2PM observables break the newly proposed spin-shift symmetry of the 2PM amplitude starting at the fifth order in spin. Aligned spin checks as well as the high energy behavior of the computed observables are discussed.
