Thinkpad Thunderbolt 4 Dock compatibility?

I am on the move from a Windows environment to MacOS. I am awaiting delivery of my new MacBook Pro 14 and I wonder if anyone here has experience of using a ThinkPad Universal Thunderbolt 4 Dock or similar connected to a MacBook Pro? I won't need a multiple monitor function just a single connection for my two external hard drives, ethernet and power input. Any advice will be gratefully received.

I am using the Thinkpad Universal Thunderbolt 4 Dock with my MacBook Pro. It has an M1 chip. I already had a dock because my personal computer is a ThinkPad, but then got a Mac for work. So far, so good. I connect a monitor and a wired mouse. I should say that the instructions that come in the box say to only connect it to a ThinkPad, though, and that it has something to do with heat. So I would try it at your own risk. I can only speak to functionality, not long-term effects.
