ThinkPad KabyLake(2017) products and KabyLake-Refresh(2018) products are designed to use up to 3 displays including internal LCD display.   So, it is impossible for ThinkPad to use 3 external monitors at the same time.

I also reached to the same result with you that Thunderbolt 3 Dock would be the best for Yoga 370.

I confirmed 2 external display w/ 2 DP ports and another external display w/ Analog work on that dock when I disable LCD by lid close.
