While it’s true that you can’t get conventional docks for Macs, newer Macs use USB-C for I/O and you can get Thunderbolt docks that connect with only one wire.
For something portable, Anker has a nice one, but the cable is only 6 inches and not removable. Has HDMI but no Ethernet.
For something that is going to sit on a desk all day, I like the Henge Dock. Do note that the cable that comes with it is rated for both power and data. The USB-C cable that comes with your Macbook is only rated for power.
Every dock I've bought from OWC has issues with the ethernet and some also have issues with the video output. The only way I've gotten them to work was by plugging dongles into the dock. I don't recommend them at all.

I have a mint condition Henge Docks Stone USB C dock for sale for $125 + shipping. It's served me well for the last few months, but the nature of my job changes so I need a more portable dock: https://imgur.com/a/n0JtND7
(sorry about the lint on top of the dock; I can retake the photos without the lint and send them to you upon request)

not sure if it would work with the SB2, but I don't see why not.
