I have a 2017 nTB 13" Pro, connected to a 4K LG (the USB-C one released with the USB-C Macs), and it runs just fine. It doesn't get warm (not quite, but pretty warm) until I fire up a Zoom meeting

That's... fascinating. I'm using the exact same setup as you and the fans randomly spin up for extended periods of time, even through several reformats and OS reinstallations over the years. I haven't been able to pinpoint any logical reason for this behaviour.
