I use an Intel MBP13 inch with two external monitors and it works pretty well. What am I missing?

And it's not terribly bad, just that I pretty much draw the full 92W the power adaptor supplies and get the mentioned thermal throttling much sooner than without.
Running a bunch of docker containers, slack, and general everyday workflow. Doing all the good stuff like ad-blocker and checking process monitor.
Our solution isn't the most lightweight, but still the end result is that plugging in an external monitor (1080), my productivity goes down dramatically which is the opposite of how multiple monitor setups are supposed to work. :-)
So whatever a “multi-monitor workload” is (video editing or something?) — it’s certainly not universal.
When I'm on a video call, the CPU fans are consistently on at what I believe is the lowest RPM.
I would classify that as 'not breaking a sweat'. I suspect you might as well. I'm not sure if OP expects to be able to use all of GPU memory using only passive cooling, or if they have something else is going on.
