Hi! I have Unbound Flourishing on the board then cycle Shark Typhoon for x=1. Unbound would trigger and copy the cycling ability but the triggered ability that creates a shark token applies only to the original cycling instance, right? The net result is drawing 2 cards and creating one 1/1 shark token?
The part of Unbound Flourishing that refers to activated abilities with {x} is different than 'Sacrifice x clues' (Lonis, Cryptozoologist) so this ability would not be copied by Unbound, right?

Yes, copying that ability does not include paying the activation cost a second time, so the Shark Typhoon is not discarded a second time, so the "When you cycle Shark Typhoon, ...." ability doesn't trigger a second time.
702.29c Some cards with cycling have abilities that trigger when they’re cycled. “When you cycle [this card]” means “When you discard [this card] to pay an activation cost of a cycling ability.” These abilities trigger from whatever zone the card winds up in after it’s cycled.

Correct. The activation cost includes an X, but it is not X.

Why bother with mere rulings when so many answers can be found in the Rules?
