I am building a Hayclon Druid for an upcoming game.

The important part of the archtype for this discussion is that it grants a bonded object (which happens to be a mask) like a Wizard. I got to wondering if I could gain a second bonded object such as a ring from Eldritch Heritage (Arcane), and came across a few forum discussions debating if a Wizard could get a second bonded object by the feat.

It appears the points that suggest a Wizard cannot get a second bonded object are tied to not having "spells known", and interpretations of the wording of the Wizard/Sorcerer stacking in the bloodline. I'm curious if being a Druid instead of a Wizard sidesteps these pitfalls, allowing for the entire Druid spell list to count at "spells known" and otherwise validating the build.
Input would be appreciated.

Depends on the wording. There are some abilities that can grant additional bonded objects. Others don't stack.
The Sorcerer one via the arcane bloodline specifically stacks with effective wizard levels for the purposes of arcane bonded objects. So taking this with the Druid would grant you only the one bonded object, since the Druid archetype refers to having an effective wizard level.
If, instead, you took a level of wizard and a level of this druid, you'd end up with two, mutually exclusive, bonded objects. This is because stacking bonded object level is not part of the arcane bond rules, only the sorcerer arcane bloodline variant of those rules.
