For anyone finding this thread...
Dell D6000 adapter is working well for both my GPD Pocket 2 and 15" Macbook Pro.
The GPD Pocket 2 m3-8100Y wasn't powerful enough to power 2 3340x1440 monitors in Win10. Normal use was extremely laggy. WUDFHost.exe was taking up 40%+ CPU regardless of what driver combinations I tried. I didn't dig deep enough to figure out exactly which driver was using up my resources.
I tried Ubuntu MATE 18.04 and 19.04 with the D6000 drivers and performance seemed fine but the displays would constantly drop out and had major graphical artifacts. Unusable.
I switched to Chrome OS via CloudReady 74.3.16. Everything works 100% out of the box with no issues, other than touchscreen. I don't really need touchscreen support so I'm ok with this. The only problem I had was the internal display being rotated 90deg which was easy to fix after going through setup.
I'm using Crostini to run linux apps and I'm testing this out as a full replacement to my main development machine. So far I'm happy. Sometimes the OS crashes and reboots if I'm running several heavy processes and dock/undock from my monitors & USB devices.
