Can vouch for ThinkPad X1 carbon. I was in the same situation, MBP 2017 nTB and downgraded to a 2015 ThinkPad X1 with qwhd display.
Cost me 330 euros from eBay. Pretty good computer for development, but it only has 8gb of RAM.
Nevertheless the 2015 Carbon X1 runs Manjaro Linux with KDE very well, everything works out of the box.
More developers really should consider moving away from MacOS and "fashion" technology, and start recycling older systems. A web developer does not need the fastest most expensive device on the market. Especially not a $5000 MacBook with a bullshit touchbar.
