No patch expected from Apple on Mojave. Catalina is a hope they may fix it.

I'm experiencing the same thing with the same results when you disable Night Shift on Mojave 10.14.16 and with the

5.2.1 beta 3 DL drivers installed. Disable Night Shift -> DisplayLinkManager CPU usage drops from around 100% to around 4 ~ 8%

Some colleagues have upgraded to Catalina 10.15.1 and suggest in general to wait, without focusing on DisplayLinkManager and CPU usage, just in general to wait with updating to Catalina. So that's what I'll be doing (crashed and burned before )
