I sometimes find it hard to sort through what is evidence based and what is a myth around that topic (cut out allergens, influence of sugar, ...). Probably it's back to "do what works for family and leave the rest for someone else"!
About my "sunshine chart": this was not "marketed" as a reward but simply as a way to document how often accidents happen. Some urologists use that as a first step. For many children just the fact that they "record" it seems to make them more conscious of the need to use the potty at night. For the mother it might show that she has fewer wet sheets to deal with than she "believed" which can already reduce the stress level.
When I'm on my best mom behavior I manage to say to myself "If that's the worst parenting issue I'm dealing with in this family my life is pretty darn good!"
