Are third-party docks safe to use with the switch 2?

the official dock is pricey and I'd love a smaller one for travel. Remember people bricking original Switches with cheap docks. Has anyone actually used a non-Nintendo dock with the new one and gotten TV output working?

the switch 2 dock does a different handshake from the first one, so a lot of old third-party switch docks just don't output to the tv on it. some do, and some usb-c hubs work as well. only buy one that lists switch 2 support, and read the recent reviews rather than the old ones, because system updates have broken compatibility on these before.
