Lets make things clear. The usb dock will be your second seat. I think
the next steps will be enough:

loginctl attach seat1 /sys/devices/platform/evdi.0/drm/card1
loginctl attach seat1 /the path to the usb3 hub

everything you didn't attach with loginctl or with an udev rule will
be part of seat0. So if your nvidia card is for seat0 you don't have
to write a rule for it.

Ok. So it would be indeed much simpler than first thought.

Will try this later when I will get hand on the Fedora box.
Thank you so much for your clarifications.

success,
