Generally Thunderbolt docs are better generally for Intel MACS as no driver is required at all and of course thunderbolt runs at 40Gbs second versus 5GB for most USB-C/displaylink based devices. Plenty for most uses, but not all.
None the less with my Targus 180 having so many ports including power delivery for either computers even my M1 has a port free. So I run my 4K display direct via a USB-C display port adapter (you can do the same with a USB-C to HDMI as well).
This increases the reliability of clam shell mode, solves the 1440 on 4K display issue and more.
In my case I ended up using the Targus for both computers even though the 15 inch Retina spends 85 percent of the time at the Dock. It much less recabling that way,
