We are also seeing this issue in our office.
20x Apple 2019 Intel, Macbook Pros.
Using the WD19 Dell dock, with shipping firmware and the latest firmware as of March 30'th (Just came out)
I've also just confirmed this issue on a HP USB-C Dock G4, again with latest firmware.
While inconsistent, absoloutely can hard crash the mac (fan spins hard) upon plugging in the dock, sometimes. Probably one in 3 times? Very bad.
Precise error is.

Very, very frustrating, we're talking about $180 USD and $250 USD docks here, the WD19 is a powerful high quality dock.
Based on the replies here, it seems to me, there's no consistent fix for this.
