These port replicators are easily replaced by a monitor with a high-speed usb c hub now a days.

I have not needed one in years, power, peripherals, and networking all go through the single usb-c connection.

But I can't hang my laptop from a USB cable. :)

FWIW, I'm happy with IKEA Skådis pegboard (vertical, clamped to the desk surface) + magazine rack, holding laptop & thunderbolt dock. The dock means it's a single cable to unplug to take the laptop out. It's probably cheaper to get something off AliExpress, but being able to see the products in store to have a better idea if it would work was worth it for me.
