Displaylink ceases to work in 10.13.4

Hi - I've got my MacBook Pro, using 10.13.4 hooked up to a DisplayLink hub so that I can use my Dell 34" curved WQHD (3440x1440) monitor for the detailed Photoshop and graphics work I do as a freelancer. The workaround is max 1080p and looks very blurry on this monitor and I can't work like this.

Am I holding out for something that's never going to happen if Apple has closed off certain parts of the code that allowed DisplayLink to work properly? I'm not sure what my plan B is going to be, but I can't do this for much longer.

I don't have the time to downgrade my MacOS and ensure all my years of finessing settings, profiles, scripts, tweaks aren't going to get lost in the process (yes I have proper backups, but that doesn't mean much when downgrading).

I'm sure the DisplayLink dev team is on it but is there a remote chance this problem can be fixed?
