What about a real usbc/thunderbolt Dockingstation of lenovo/hp/dell? These cost ~200€, though.

I could try that, but at the moment I've spent enough on adapters and docking stations.

Currently I have peripherals, network and charger connected to a docking station and just plug in HDMI directly into my laptop. Not ideal, I would have preferred everything over a single connector, but it is workable enough I guess.
