Here's one. Might find a bus powered one if you keep looking. Most seem to be multibay units since with a single drive it's not much faster than USB 3 anyway. Probably easier to find one with a drive already installed.
The 22Gbps limit is the maximum PCIe bandwidth that Thunderbolt 3 can transfer. Because TB3 MUST guarantee USB 3.1 Gen 2 Compatibility (10Gbps), and Displayport Compatibility (around 12Gbps), about 20Gbps is reserved for those, even if you aren't using them. TB3 actually tops out at around 42-44Gbps.
Keep in mind that 2 x Sata disks at 6Gbps each, that's 12Gbps TOTAL, not 6Gbps. Your RAID enclosure takes EACH 6Gbps port and combines it together.
