Android 11 release introduces Android Common Kernels (also known as the  AOSP common kernels or ACKs) though which Android TV 11 kernel version release is unclear?

Should hopefully have many more peripherals​​​​​​ drivers for USB hub chips, wired network adapters, Wi-Fi adapters, storage controllers, and more.

Still not a cheap solution but at least there are few USB-C hubs that feature integrated 1Gbps Ethernet adapters for those wanting wired Gigabit network.

Works:

Utaxo 8-in-1 USB C Hub: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07RWG8M15/ (Confirmed by 2 DPs that it works and supports Ethernet and storage - FAT32 is the only supported format by CCGTV)

Anker USB C Hub, PowerExpand 8-in-1 USB C : https://www.amazon.com/Anker-PowerExpand...B087QZVQJX

Partially works:

TOTU USB C Hub,9-In-1 Type C Hub (ethernet and peripherals only - no storage): https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07FX2...UTF8&psc=1

Don't Work:

Aukey 5-in-1 with Ethernet (latest version ethernet drivers not supported): https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B089M7...UTF8&psc=1
Can I use paragon for exFAT and NTFS drives connected through hub to play local content from a SSD through Kodi on the new "Chromecast"? 

Thinking of buyin that thing, because amazon fire tv stick gets bloated more and more. But I'm using Disney+, Prime and Netflix, so a single kodi device isn't the solution.
The paragon app you can install will only allow you to copy files between internal storage and external storage. In order to play directly from external storage, you will be OS level file system drivers which means it either need to be already in the OS or you will have to root the device and install the root version of the app.
