I don't believe KVM allows separation by video port. I think you can only give a KVM the entire card. And even if KVM allowed you to give it a single port I think X/Wayland assumes total control of the card and cards ram (I could be wrong, but that would require knowing about the 2nd instance and playing nice with each other, and that seems like a lot of work so, and even if it was done it probably does not work right). I don't think #1 will work, #4 would work so long as you have 2 usb-c converters.
What are you doing inside the KVM that you need to give it a real video card? Or does the virtual one simply work that bad? I am also not sure how well the USB3 video cards work on linux, and on a desktop machine there tend to be no real usb-c ports (at least on the ones I have).
