I have idea of having 1 4K monitor for PT and other for 55" HD,TV. All feeded from HDMI and t3 to HDMI adapter / dock via KVM extension.
I think it's not wise anymore to invest in T2 optical wires. Aten makes now 4k Cat5 video extension at really great prices.

Hi, we used to run two 1920x1080 video outputs from the Mac Mini before we bought the eGPU chassis. One HDMI and one DVI via USB-C adapter. So yes, two outputs works fine with this setup. I can't comment on performance with 4k, but in theory it should work over HDMI. However, the Mac Mini seems to run smoother with the Sonnet eGPU.
How did the optical TB solution work before it died? We have a machine room for the noisy gear and/or things which need to be kept cool, but I've never considered moving the Mini in there because we need TB accessible in the control room.
