You're gaining SD card support, a much better form factor, and not losing anything by the non-Thunderbolt interface.
While the M3 MacBook line did receive a software update allowing them to drive two displays when the lids closed, it's a little vague as to whether it works with Thunderbolt 3 docks or just Thunderbolt 4 docks.
If you need multiple monitor use on M1-3 macs, this dock can't do it and can't use display link.
There have been other docks on sale around this price with display link compatibility so pass on this one.
I used this as part of a dual monitor + kvm setup and had no issues running my M1 Pro at 30hz. The power pass through made it very hot and maxed at ~60w.

I hate dealing with displayPort (DisplayLink) on macs, it's a pain. HDMI is much better to deal with.
$30 is worth it for 40Gbps. Picked one up when I really don't need it. But good to have a spare.
