MacBook models with an M-Series processor can drive up to two 6K displays at 60Hz through the dock.
With its range of ports, power delivery output, and ability to be used vertically or flat, the Kensington SD5800T Thunderbolt 4 Docking Station should let you set up all of your accessories and monitors once then connect through a single port.
