My main issue with multi-monitor is getting it to actually work with two monitors and the Mac closed. Every morning before I start work I'm faffing around with USB-C cables, plugging them in and out constantly until the Mac just decides that it will work now.

Amphetamine (https://amphetamine.en.softonic.com/mac) solved this for me. I turn it on, with “allow system sleep when display is closed” disabled, and it’ll work with the laptop closed, using only the two connected monitors as display.

On the flip side, my late 2018 mac mini won't display at boot on my dual thunderbolt displays. I have to plug one into HDMI to get it to work. Works fine after boot.
