Need to figure out best MBP dock/monitor setup

I have this exact model and two external monitors. I have one as a USB-C dock to connect USB keyboard, ethernet and with pass-thru power (need 100W for this beast) and a second as a simple USB-C to HDMI adapter.

DisplayLink DOES work via daisy-chaining, but not as nice as just plugging two cables to the RHS. I actually tied those plugs together to make it easy to find when docking.

EDIT: I used two different Anker USBC hubs, one marked for 100W and another un-marked. They both did a nice job and gave 85W+ PD.

Do you have any issues when you open and close the lid of the MBP?
Interesting question. I usually leave the lid open for a 3 monitor setup. The 16" retina screen is pretty spectacular is a nice additional real estate.

What kind of tests do you need me to do?
With it open, just close it. Then see if you can use the two remaining screens. Check system prefs to make sure the closed screen actually went away.

Then open it and see if it returns to three screens.

Keep in mind it may fully crash your Mac doing this.
