If I am running a dual monitor setup with one RGB monitor and one BGR monitor then does it result in extra processing being required by the GPU? Since the GPU has to render the GUI in two different ways for two different type of monitors. It just seems like it would work less if it rendered all desktops one way.

Only software that has "hardware acceleration enabled" is there literally _any_ extra processing done by the GPU. Example, web browsers these days have a toggle to enable/disable hardware acceleration, which literally means "use my graphics processor to help accelerate video/3d draw calls instead of relying on the cpu to do everything. Also example, web browsers (you know, a software that _could_ have hardware acceleration enabled, and therefore request gpu resources, and therefore potentially "require extra processing" as per your question's wording) literally ignore your cleartype setting _anyways_, regardless of RGB setting or BGR setting or if you have a graphics card in your PC or not. Google Chrome is _literally_ not programmed to detect what your cleartype setting is on your PC and do subpixel font rendering according to your cleartype setting. The way Google Chrome does subpixel font rendering is _entirely_ decided by Google programmers, not by your Windows Cleartype setting.
Also some USB-C ports aren't capable of acting in display-port alternate mode (ie: this usb-c port can _functionally_ act as a display-out port and send video to a display)
Either
A) You have a bad USB-C cable.
or
B) The port you're using (physically) doesn't simultaneously support display-out and USB data at the same time.
or
C) Your device's manufacturer hasn't implemented proper drivers for that port to allow the feature in B.
Example: I have an older OnePlus phone with usb-c. I can connect it to the USB-C KVM port of the M27Q I have. The phone will detect a basic keyboard device. It will not detect my mouse. It will not detect/support display out through the usb-c port. When I click the KVM button, the screen goes black and I can use my keyboard to send a text on my phone while looking at my phone's display. My mouse doesn't do anything. If I connect my HP work laptop to the USB-C port, all functions work (display out, keyboard+mouse connectivity)
My guess? When OnePlus made my phone, they only connected the physical pins on the USB-c port to the phone's motherboard to allow data transfer and charging. (functionally a usb 2.0 port under the hood, doesn't have any extra features over a typical usb 2.0 port besides its shape.) Alternate pins that may have supported video out and all that stuff probably wasn't a big feature at the time, since it's one of the earliest USB-c phones they made, and the only feature people wanted was "oh, you can plug it in either way and it just werks(tm)"
