I use USBC everywhere including my home office dock. The ease of plugging one cable to dock is great, it keeps the desk tidy and has excellent spousal approval factor.

Most dongles are absolute crap, though. Caldigit is the only brand I trust.

I'd put a vote in for J5 Create as another good brand. I've had some of these adapters for a decade now, replacing them only as the technology they're built on (VGA, Lightning, etc) go obsolete.

Specific to the OP, my work laptop is plugged into one dock that manages power, ethernet, USB-A adapters, and 4k 30FPS HDMI. It also has an unused VGA, SD & Micro SD. It's a nice amount of functionality for only consuming one Thunderbolt-capable USB-C port.
