We’ve used multiple HP USB-C docks with no issues, but the G5 is unfortunately a serious outlier. We purchased nine of them, and nearly all had significant problems—primarily only delivering power but not handling data or video. Yes, just power.

These don't seem to be very stable. I have them in my office and my third monitor has never worked properly with it. I've had others that just fail to connect to a laptop until we've rebooted the laptop 3+ times. The 1 year warranty is pretty limiting when you have issues like this.
