I think 2.0 can be dropped here, no?

I am a little bit confused about the version schema. This tags seems newer: https://github.com/boostorg/build/releases/tag/boost-1.64.0
Which version is preferred?

Yes, the "2.0" can be probably dropped, even though it's not really a version number, it's the name of the project after a refactoring effort.
Boost Build releases are not tied to Boost releases, I'm not sure why they have Boost version tags in the repo, but it's probably not a good idea to use them when Boost Build isn't being bundled with Boost itself.
