You have to confirm that (A) laptop USB-C does PD (power delivery) and DP (DisplayPort); (B) your monitor has USB-C and can deliver enough power (60-100W I guess is enough); (C) the USB-C cable is 3.1 gen2 with 10Gbps rating.
Then you'll need enough USB plugs for your peripherals. I added a hub to the backside of my monitor, works without issues even though the chain is now laptop-monitor-hub-device.
Switching between laptop and desktop is also another consideration. I have desktop with DisplayPort cable + USB-C 3.0 for peripherals. Then I got a short USB-C male-female extension (3.1 gen2) so I can switch laptop/desktop cables without wearing out the monitor USB-C port.

So yes some dabbling required.
