. Should I put these in the carboy or in a bucket and rack the beer on top? I'm normally not a fan of a secondary, but seems like it would be a pain in the arse to get 7+ pounds of peaches out of the tiny neck of a carboy.

I’d put them in the carboy. You may want to cut them up a bit after they thaw before adding to carboy. Utilize your funnel to get them in the neck of the carboy and the back side of a wooden spoon to unclog.

You could also do a bucket but buckets are a perfect vessel to oxidize your beer. Refermentation of the fruit would help to push out some of the O2.
