It will be infinitely more expensive and harder than just using fiber. Two transceivers is 350 bucks total for 2km single mode. 200 for multi mode if you want

A 4 port switch is about 700 bucks.
You could also do 25gb x 4 and aggregate at probably 1/3 price. You could upgrade later, without changing fiber. You could also go with the switch but use 25g transceivers, and upgrade the transceivers later. This is about 60% cost.
In a year this will all be half that price. USB4 plus a ton of repeaters plus … is going to dwarf the initial cost of 100g fiber quickly. In 5 years, you will probably be able to run 800g over the same fiber if you are bored. A or aggregate 100g links. You would have to replace all the USB with new USB-9 2x2.4 SE stuff.
