I think he thrives in high pressure environment. Not sure if it is particularly painful as I think any high pressure environment will be kind of painful to most people...  I'd say he can take it better than most and can cope with high mental stress.

The fights are usually resolvable, especially these days. It is getting better as both understands each other better along the years and work at the marriage.

His relationship is good with the children. He is a strict parent with them but he shows love and they show love back too.

And no for the last question.

Should be Jia Yin hour then. The biggest smoking gun is the relationship with his children. If Gui Chou hour, the clash would indicate an estranged relationship. But a Jia Yin hour would indicate a positive, mutually supportive relationship. The past 2 years were wood years also. Combined with the Jia Zi luck pillar, may indicate greater capacity for emotional connection via his output (communication). If there is a Chou Wei clash with the spouse palace, it's less likely this would be the case.

Technically Singapore should apply a 35 minute adjustment to those born before 1982, so he could be a gui chou hour, but there are things that could factor into the time being recorded early, like did the nurse record the time accurately, whether the nurse considered time of birth the moment the baby's head is visible or when he took his first breath, C-section etc. I usually go by the person's lived experience over recorded time.

He is born around 3+am for sure but we don't know the exact minutes though.

Think DM Gui is conjoined with children hour pillar Gui Chou meaning very close with his children.

Probably after having children he is a stronger day master.

At the same time Day Wei is clashing to control/disciplinarian  Chou hour children pillar which is super good.

Gui Chou is also finance metal industry too. Whole dry chart is controlling wet hour pillar. Promotion after promotion as earth is his guan Sha.

My 2 cents! 🙏

If he really belongs to the Gui Chou pillar, the quality of his chart gets significantly worse, possibly a broken chart structure. He can still make money, but it involves a lot of "clashing" between the zi and chou to free the hidden beneficial elements inside these earth "graveyards". Because all of this happens "underground", the work he does to get there is not as visible as if he had the visible output in his Jia Yin Pillar. It becomes a lot harder for him to unlock his wealth.

The biggest issue with a gui chou hour pillar is that the hai in the upcoming gui hai pillar is no longer distracted by a combination and will clash with the Si in his month pillar. As the month pillar is related to career, it indicates huge instability in his work. If this really is his chart, would advise planning to step back and transition out of high risk, high conflict roles and look at "Resource" roles like teaching, advisory or compliance. Also to stop chasing high risk speculative gain in his investments and move them into safer instruments.

As earth is not a favourable element in his chart, having the wei element in his spouse palace is not really good for either hour. I find unfavourable 7k spouse palaces tend to indicate control/dominance issues between the couple. He might be bringing the aggressive attitude he puts into his work home and treat his spouse/children like his staff. The Gui Chou hour however, is much worse for his relationships because of the chou-wei clash, and because he no longer has the wood to restrain his aggressive 7k energy.

Lived experience is always the most accurate.

Does he thrive in high pressure environments and easily find success? Or he succeeds by grinding through the high pressure, and it's extremely painful for him?

Are any marital issues mostly resolvable friction, or there are frequent bad fights that have you considering divorce? If you have children, how is his relationship with them?

Does he have problems with backstabbing and hidden traps in his career? Like something goes wrong and he has no idea who may have sabotaged him.

Not sure if the chou you're referring to is from the luck pillar. If so, you are right. The relationship with his spouse did improve in the last 2 years or so in this new pillar.
