Good question, hopefully users of any of these enclosures can confirm if they work - or not. Personally I did not check these.

In theory, there should be no problem with any of them: both JMicron chips and other chipsets (for example ASMEDIA) should work, complete status should be detected and reported. But there may be some firmware issue with different chipsets (for example JMicron), so you may ask the manufacturer of the enclosure for confirmation.

Please check Support -> Compatibility -> External disks, enclosures page, it shows list of devices tested by me or reported by users.
When users send information (positive or negative results), the corresponding device is added to the list.

I always encourage users to send mail (or developer report) with the device name, so then I can add to the list of compatible devices. This helps users to select proper devices.

Personally I use the following dual docking stations with good experiences and 100% compatibility:

EWENT EW7014 USB 3.1
STARTECH SDOCK2U313R
ICY BOX IB-120CL-U3
NEXT 943DCU3
COLTECH CE-912HU3
Highpoint RocketStor SMART Backup
