Oh, were you able to get the Kensington dock's DisplayPort port working with iGPU?
Were you able to get it working with a discrete GPU as well? (Can the motherboard even route display buffer data from the GPU to the TB3 port to the DisplayPort port on the dock?) Just curious.
It worked without using the RX580 (not connected via HDMI or DP), otherwise you get glitches.
Well and for your last questions, that was my plan from the beginnig, after i realized that you cant use an internal TB3 port for transfering DGPU Data. On Windows 10, there seems to be a way with a loss of frames, by some software. The best and easist way is to use the gigabyte titan ridge card, where you cant input your Displayport from your DGPU and the go out with TB3.
So you right now if you want the full TB3 experience you need a seperate Titan ridge card and a Board that supports it by having an internal TB3 Header : )
/edit
In conclusion, i would not recommend the Asrock Z390 Gaming ITX AC, except you need an mini itx board with a TB3 port, but the TB3 is totally crippled (low power version, bandwith is not max 40 but something more like 18).
I already ordered an custom mini itx case from china so I'm stuck with this terrible board. (Thank Asrock, they saved about 2 dollars for a crippled TB3 controller.) If you plan a small build, go with the Gigabyte Gaming Z390M in Combination with the Gigabyte Titan Ridge Card (together about 10 bucks more expensive the the Asrock). You will get full TB3 support with 40Gbits and also you can push your DGPU Signal through, but of the cost that you will have an micro ATX Board.
