I used power delivery from my Dell monitor for the last year, but occasionally under heavy workloads it couldn't keep up and my battery would slowly drain. I may have had something misconfigured, but if so I never figured out what it was. Between Yubikey, Ethernet, and two external monitors, I didn't have much choice.
I finally gave up and bought a Thunderbolt dock that actually delivers enough power while also providing expanded port capabilities.
