 +Slackware64-current with latest kernel (5.4.17) still working fine today.  After any kernel upgrade, I run grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg and after the reboot, press e and add 3 at the end of the line starting with "linux" I login and repackage evdi-kernel and nvidia-kernel, install and reboot.  Everything works fine after that, with the three monitors on the USB 3.0 docking station
