I'm not sure which model of that Caldigit dock you have but most modern TB3/4 docks work with USB4. Some older docks or even cheap new docks using older Thunderbolt 3 Bridge chip, may not work with all USB4 Devices. My Startech TB3 dock, purchased back in 2018, does not work either but my Plugable TBT4-UDZ works fine with HX99G and Lenovo Legion 5 Pro 2023 with RTX 3070 Ti (Lenovo updated one Type-C Port to USB4 with Firmware Update).

Run quiet, fast, and smooth.
My biggest gripe is that it was advertised with USB4 compatibility, but there are very few things that I own that are compatible. My Caldigit hub is not recognized and I couldn't get display out. Fortunately, that's not my use case, but I doubt Minisforum will ever fix the USB4 issues.
If you want to use a thunderbolt devices better use Intel device with thunderbolt, much higher compatibility.

I've read that is the best performing but that it loses performance over time and should be reapplied after a year or 2.
Is this a valid concern or not?

I currently have it as a jellyfin server. It's on 24/7. It works great.
I did play horizon zero dawn and baulders gate 3 on it just to see if I could. It's very playable, as long as you dial the settings down.
Let me know if you want to know anything.
I will say that working with minisforum was a chore. I ordered it at the first of june for an end of June delivery. It never got delivered. Went back and forth with support for weeks, even getting a refund and rebuying at one point. I finally told them to refund me at the end of July and they said it was shipped. What made it frustrating is that their US Amazon store had them in stock in July for the same price. But they still shipped it from China.
Thanks.
