Can the USB3.1 port both host peripherals and receive charge at the same time? Because I know that's always the challenge with USB2 that you're either functioning as host or client, and hosts control peripherals while clients receive power... when a "docking-station" scenario involves the host receiving power from the client (impossible with USB2). USB2 ports can switch between host and client, but they can't do both at once like that.
