> any of the macOS workarounds to get more displays.

Are you referring to that Sidecar or similar software which lets you use an ipad as a second display, or are there different workarounds you're thinking of?

You can use DisplayLink to drive external displays.

With some docks and adapters like https://www.sonnettech.com/product/m1-mac-dual-displayport-a...

They’re not completely successful from what I hear, but I know it works for some folks.

I have an M1 Max so I haven’t tried myself.

DisplayLink in my experience has horrible performance. Not a good experience and I think that's why Apple avoided it.
