I've been using DisplayLink and the Startech adapter for 6 months and it's been rock solid. There is also a Dell hub in the middle as I could never get it working without.
Flow is as follows: Macbook -> USB-C -> Dell USB-C hub -> USB-A/B -> Dell monitor (USB hub) -> Startech adapter (USB A) -> 2x Dell Monitor DisplayPort.
FWIW I have 2 Dell 27 1080p both aligned portrait with a MBAir M2 on the side.
As for lag I haven't really noticed or perhaps I've got used to it... I do however use both screens for Teams video calls and it's pretty smooth quality.

For example certain protected video streams won't decode, and F.lux doesn't quite work on all monitors the way it should. Overall though I've put up with it. It's really an outrage that Apple restricted this basic functionality just because it could.
