Laptop + Dock + Dual Monitor compatibility

Ok, so I'm choosing a new work setup for my needs.


Basically, my future setup is the following:
- Laptop: ASUS ExpertBook B9 OLED B9403 - 2880 x 1800 display of its own, has Intel Iris Xᵉ Graphics onboard.

- Monitors: ASUS ProArt PA278CGV - 1440p 144Hz - two of those.


Now, I'm wondering what dock I should get for the setup. ASUS has its own dock called ASUS SimPro Dock 2, but reviews on it are mixed. It has double DisplayPort 1.4, which should be fine for a single monitor setup, but I want to have a dual-monitor setup, with both monitors running 144 Hz.
Working screen of the laptop is a nice option, but not a must (in a docked mode). Also, single usb-c charging cable from dock to laptop is a must, so it should support both power delivery and video output.

 

Would this setup work? Monitors and laptop are kinda set, but the docking option is negotiable.

Appreciate the advice, folks. 

Thanks!

It has 2x Thunderbolt™ 4 ports, however, dock station does not have them. 

Dock station has 1 x Thunderbolt 3.0 and 2 x Display 1.4
