Question Help with dual Mac-PC setup

I am currently mounting a desktop computer combining the best of both worlds. I intend to include a Mac, a PC, and accessories that would let me switch from one to the other seamlessly. The devices would be as follows:
  • M4 Mac Mini, 10-core CPU, 10-core GPU, 16 GB RAM, 512 GB storage
  • Dell XPS 8960 desktop, Core i7-14700, RTX 4060, 32 GB RAM, 2 TB storage
  • Samsung ViewFinity S9 27-inch IPS monitor, 5120 x 2880 resolution
  • Logitech MX Keys S keyboard + Logitech MX Anywhere 3s mouse
As far as I am concerned, both the keyboard and the mouse support up to 3 devices via a Bluetooth connection, so it would be possible to switch from the PC to the Mac and vice-versa very quickly and seamlessly.

As for the monitor, it supports Mini Display Port and Thunderbolt 4 connections. I am thinking in connecting it to the XPS via the Mini Display Port and to the Mac Mini via Thunderbolt 4, getting a 5120 x 2880 resolution in both computers, and exchanging between them whenever I want.

Would this work? Any flaws or potential problems in this configuration?

Thank you for all the help and support.
