I did the laptop only thing like the OP for a while and it worked but I was craning my neck forward to see text. Increasing the size of stuff meant less screen so I just kept craning my neck until I hurt it. Anyway, I solved the problem buy going to a single Dell 27inch QHD monitor that has a usbc hub in it. It is amazingly good.

Laptops are bad for your posture, external, elevated monitors are best. I also like ultrawide monitors, but I do not really think most people need more than one of them.
