I put mobian/phosh on an SD card and booted from that. I plugged the phone into the Nexdock via the docking bar, and stuff just works, no messing about necessary. I'm typing this on the phone/Nexdock combo.
So far, after playing with mobian a bit, I'm much more impressed with it than I was with manjaro. It's a lot smoother, a lot less flaky, haven't lost access to the modem yet.
Edited to add:
I declared victory a little too soon. It starts out great, but if I let it go to sleep, that causes the Nexdock to disconnect, and the phone does NOT come back to life in an acceptable state. The phone is at 100% scaling, it is not sharing the display nicely with the Nexdock, and the settings-display screen says there is a hardware issue so the changes cannot be applied. That screen is frozen, and I cannot make any changes to the settings. I cannot even close it by swiping up - it swipes up, but then it comes back in a couple of seconds. A reboot puts the phone back to normal.
Since I'm doing this through the docking bar, I suspect this would be a problem with any HDMI monitor.
