USB-C.

This behaviour is also present on at least the previous generation
mechanical docks, as I regularly disconnect and connect my ThinkPad
W550s (2015) to mine. Always have to zap X before suspending the machine
prior to disconnecting from the dock, or else open the lid to a black
screen where the only way out is to zap X. Reconnecting to the dock is
similar; have to zap X before the console shows on all monitors.

Back when this machine ran Linux prior to August 2017, monitor detection
in this way only worked to a certain extent. It was highly kernel
driver-dependent from what I can remember, though the desktop
environment or window manager probably played a role here too.

This is all with i915kms (doesn't matter which Linux kernel version of
drm-kmod), by the way.
