Ran super hot and could only connect 1 FHD monitor

I couldn't get two full HD to connect through this device. Only one monitor would connect, no matter what I tried. I was using a new, high the gaming laptop from MSI that ran Windows 11. The heat this docking unit generated when connected to the thunderbolt port on my laptop was rediculous. I seriously thought it was going to melt and cause a fire it got so hot. I stuffed up returning it and got a powered thunderbolt docking station that actually does work and can display 4 external monitors.

This dock requires a DisplayPort v1.4 Alt Mode-enabled port that supports Multi-Stream Transport (MST) in order to output to dual or triple displays. Some laptops, even high-performance models, may have USB-C or Thunderbolt ports that don’t support MST for multiple external displays, which could explain why only one monitor was detected.
As for the heat you noticed, the dock can become warm during high data or display output due to its compact aluminum design, which naturally dissipates heat.

Does not work for Mac with more than one display

Does not work with Macs with more than one display. It only mirrors all connected displays. This is in the fine print on j5create's webpage: "When using extended mode on Mac, all connected displays will show the same content." Indeed, this was my experience. The most annoying part about this is that this is a pretty big dealbreaker--why not put that on the cover of the package instead of having the buyer struggle through and spend an hour troubleshooting? What is the value of having users buy a product that obviously won't work for their situation (use a Mac...)?

The 4K60 Elite USB-C Triple-Monitor 10Gbps Mini Dock requires Multi-Stream Transport (MST) to achieve triple-monitor configuration. The MST protocol is not currently supported by macOS. The display output is limited to mirrored mode when connected.

Works good for regular use but gets pretty hot (kinda scary in my opinion). Tried to watch a HD 1080p movie I bought from iTunes but I think iTunes detected it as a pirate device and pixelated the movie - sound was okay. Had to disconnect and reconnect this adapter after every restart, not very ideal.

Generally, adapters emit heat as a normal part of its operation. Please note that hotter operating temperatures can be expected if you have several things connected at once and transferring data as it takes energy to move data. Regarding the issue with iTunes detecting your device as a pirate device and pixelating the movie, it's best to contact iTunes support for assistance. They will be able to help you troubleshoot the issue and resolve any problems with your account or device compatibility. Thank you.

This is an ok thing. Don’t expect it to charge your laptop. Basic way to be able to plug in a bunch of things to run off your laptop. I returned it and ordered a docking station that also charges my laptop.
