I have fewer display port devices now than 8 years ago.

Don't forget about usb-c. Video over usb-c is almost always display port in disguise.

What about latency? Is it on par or at least in the same league compared to direct connection? Not an issue for most people, but gamers could disagree if it is too high.

Performance is identical. DisplayPort Alternate Mode (which is what most displays use) isn't transmitting video data over USB; it's agreeing to use some of the high-speed wire pairs in the cable to transmit DisplayPort data instead of USB.

It's still direct connection, so there's nothing to compare there.
