I'm kinda limited in my options, because this MBP only has two USB ports. So I have one port which goes to a USB hub, and the other port goes to an Apple A/V adapter with USB-C power delivery pass-thru, HDMI, and a USB port. If not for my need to have one USB port be switchable, and the rest not, I'd use a USB-C -> DP cable like I use on my 16" MBP.

This may prompt me to upgrade prematurely, if/when the next M1 MBP comes out with more than two ports.

Get a thunderbolt dock and you don’t have to worry about it. The dock also charges my MBA.
Which dock are you using? Caldigit? Those seem popular, but I see there are a number of options at every price point.
I have the OWC TB dock that was just released (and has been backordered). It works great other than the headphone jack has a slight hiss that I don't get plugging directly into the MBA.
CalDigit TS3+ works great for me with monitor hooked up on DisplayPort. No delay on resume. This is the dock Apple sells.
