That's even a hard variant. I have a plugable UD165-M device, where in
udev rules dir per default systemd knows that this is a multiseat
device (I can drop that rule, or change it in /etc and It is a desktop
extender).
Per default I connect monitor, mouse and kb to the device, connect the
device to the PC. A new gdm appears at the new seat.

Single monitor is ONE seat. Not multiseat.
Perhaps this article makes it more clear. One box with the mobo's GPU and then 3 more GPU cards. Plug in 3 more mice and 3 more keybaords via USB. One box, four seats. $600.

Wow. That's a far cry from previous documents I had read, pages and pages and pages long, with tons hacks... Unless there is some complex cruft hidden somewhere, it looks very easy.
The keyboard and mice are now way easier than they were, via USB, you can connect as many as you wish. Curious about which one works at boot, or bios, though :-)
We now need (affordable) multiport graphical cards. Meaning, a single card that can handle several fully independent displays. Useful not only for multiseat, but for panoramic multi displays and such.
