I do 2k @ 32 inch and it doesn't seem bad at all.
Current setup is 27" 4k + 24" 2k portrait.
On the 27" I have 125% scale with 4 windows up all the time:
On the 24" I have 100% scale with 2 windows up all the time - Outlook (calendar) on top 1/3, Task Manager on bottom 1/4, I use the middle for RDP or other documents/windows I may need to work on.

I have two laptops, one for work and one for home.
currently, i use a caldigit dock to connect to my 3 monitors, 1 webcam, and jabra conference speaker/mic. my keyboard and mouse are connected via bluetooth.
is there a way i could utilize a monitor with kvm so that at least my main monitor has that in case i need to use both? Where would i plug in the webcam and speaker/mic too?
The Task Manager I'm referring to shows the CPU, Memory, Disk, Network, GPU/NPU usage.
I do not use MS To Do. For some things, I use MS Tasks (through teams) that have checklists etc.

I will say that I run a dual-monitor setup but my KVM is single-monitor only - so I manually switch the second monitor to different inputs as needed. I think it's HDMI = laptop & DP = desktop.
There are KVMs now for multi-screen functions if you so desire - a single click selects all your peripherals to either go to one device (laptop) or the other (desktop).
Lenovo seems to have a dock [a.co]with a lot of ports and a cheaper travel dock [a.co] which has fewer ports.
Of course, there's a ton of cheaper docking stations [a.co]- but you'll likely want one with "power delivery" so it powers your laptop while connected. These cheaper docking stations do not have a power supply in the box so you'll have to provide your own - the charger that came with the laptop can act as that power supply.
There are "dongles" that just provide the ability to connect displays, but don't have the ability provide power to the laptop compared to those above.
