External monitor doesn't come back / system unstable after screen blank/lock

mx flag

Dell XPS 13 9370 laptop

Kensington SD4600P USB-C Dock With Power Delivery (plugged in through one of the two left side "thunderbolt" usb-c ports)

Samsung ultrawide curved monitor (connected to dock via displayport cable)

Ubuntu 20.04.2 LTS

I've updated all firmware/drivers/BIOS and can't figure out why this happens. Whenever I let the screen go blank and try to wake it back up, my external monitor stays off and my system becomes almost completely unreponsive until I unplug the dock completely. I have to then restart the laptop while the dock is plugged in to get the monitor to come back (plugging the dock in at any point after the system is already powered on doesn't work).

This laptop also has a partition with a Windows 10 installation and this problem doesn't occur there, only Ubuntu (16 and 18 had it as well).

I unplugged two devices (device number 6 and device number 8), on line 1245 in the above paste, before the 1-minute screen timer started for reference, and the ouput freezes until I unplug all devices from the system (3 minutes later at the 18:44 timestamp) so I'm not sure if the output that follows that sequence is related to the problem:

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
