I'm guessing it will depend somewhat on the display itself, so for reference, this is mine: LG 34UM69G-B 34" IPS Ultrawide with FreeSync. For that monitor, it has two settings for resolutions that aren't 21:9 ratio. One setting is to stretch to fill, which makes things look wider and a bit weird. The other setting, which I prefer, is to show non-21:9 resolutions as-is and provide black borders (pillar boxing) on the sides. (There may also be a scale-and-crop option but I'm not where I can check. I just use the pillarbox option.)
That's for full-screen games that change your display resolution. If you're doing the fake-fullscreen thing that just removes decorations and adapts the game window to your native resolution (which makes alt-tabbing work better IMO, so I tend to prefer it), anything goes, depending on the game. Some games will pillarbox, some stretch, and some scale-and-crop. For the most part though I've only had issues with fake-fullscreen + older games; regular fullscreen works as expected and most stuff within the past 5-7 years seems to be pretty sane.
The real disappointment is that a lot of games' engines support 21:9, so my native resolution is an option in the game settings, but the game itself "handles" it by pillarboxing it for me instead of giving me a larger viewport. (God Eater 3 and Soul Calibur 6, I'm looking at you.) It's worth it for the games that do handle it correctly, though. Monster Hunter World in 21:9 is glorious.
It's also surprisingly good for movie watching, because I've noticed a lot of films are made to fit 16:9 by adding black borders, which means I can zoom them in until the borders disappear and I get a nice ultrawide-filling video to watch. Works especially well with 4k videos since they have detail to spare, so the zoom doesn't look bad. For in-browser watching I started using this addon, "Ultrawide Video", which gives options to zoom in on video on sites like netflix, youtube, and amazon.
When I was shopping for a new monitor, I almost didn't get this one. I wanted more screen space but wasn't sold on the ultrawide ratio, so I started out looking for higher-resolution screens instead, but as I was shopping I realised that I'd just end up zooming everything in so I'd get a nicer picture but no real gain in real estate, so I gave the 21:9 ratio a chance despite thinking it was just a gimmick. Now I fucking love it and can't imagine going back. It adds a good chunk of extra desk space that's useful both for entertainment and productivity, and putting the 21:9 in the middle with a 16:9 to the left and the right has this awesome cockpit feel to it. I'd love to try a flight sim of some kind with the display spanning all three, it would probably be incredible.

sorry. i gotta have my ultra high refresh rate, ultra wide 34 inch 21:9 monitor, and whatnot. controllers simply suck for multiplayer shooters.
Of course you may know your situation better than me, and what your needs are. What size are the monitors and is there a specific need for a dual screen setup? I ask only to be able to offer the best recommendations.
While I've never had an issue with USB-C to video using the NUC's I've always connected to HDMI or DP monitors. So I can't speak to the fickleness of USB-C to HDMI to VGA or DVI.
Although it may be time to upgrade the monitors as well. But that is up to you. Depending upon the size, you can get the same benefits from a single monitor. For instance, you can get a 34" 21:9 Ultrawide monitor for about $327 and it is relatively equivalent to two 27" Widescreen monitors 1080p monitors There's plenty of room for running applications side-by side. Or for about the same price +/- $20 or so you could do 2x 27" monitors that have either DP or HDMI as DVI and VGA are mostly being phased out.
The choice is up to you, and depends on your needs, requirements and ideas on what you want to do. I just hope my insight has been helpful.

It seems to be the best bang for the buck monitor with your required specs. Check out LG monitor bro. Currently using a LG 29UM68P and it's awesome! Looking for a bigger monitor though.
It’s an LG 34” UW

Thinking about snagging a LG 34UM69G-B if the price drops to $275 or lower. Good deal or no? Not interested in curved/1440p.
We use these at work and they are decent enough. LG 34UM69G-B 34-Inch 21:9 UltraWide IPS Monitor with 1ms Motion Blur Reduction and FreeSync https://www.amazon.com/dp/B06XFXX5JH/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_zkz6AbQMK9059
I have to ask, do you keep that cpu tower door closed all the time? Seems like it would restrict the airflow.
The monitor i bought can be seen here
You can get this monitor's little brother, the LG 34UM69G for 250 dollars right now. Ultrawide 1440p, the screen on this one isn't curved though.

i honestly think that 29" is too small for an Ultrawide. The inches always measure diagonally, so a 29" is going to be very low in height, even lower than a 23" 16:9 Monitor.
Here is a comparison between 29" UW vs 27" 16:9
so to have a good experience, imho you should get a 34" ultrawide like the LG-34UM69G, which even offers 144Hz and isn't that much more
It may say it's for gaming, but these look pretty affordable:

Monitors can be tricky. You can find a decent one like the one you have in your list for like $100~ all the way up to the mid thousands. IMO, there's a few features that stand out; 1, resolution 1080p, 1440p, and 4k. then you have screen size/dimensions, 3:4(old almost square), 16:9(wide) and 21:9(ultrawide) Type of screen; LED Backlit or IPS, IPS, imo, is the way to go, higher color accuracy but a lil pricier. Then refresh rate; 60hz, 75hz, 100hz, 120hz, 144hz, 240hz etc. Note: Television refresh rate and computer refresh are completely different. Now there are other features of course, IE: display ports, pixel response, aesthetic, curve or flat and G-sync/Freezync.
Curved Ultra-wide's are becoming widely popular can replace two monitors with one. depending on budget, again, can help you find a decent one. On a budget a nice one would be a IPS 34" 1080p with at least 75HZ or so, more the merrier but the price jumps quickly, also to get g-sync(I tihnk its North of $600 US)
Here's a new LG for example https://www.amazon.com/dp/B06XFXX5JH/ref=psdc_1292115011_t3_B01DLB9BRC
And then here's a "top of the line"

Alternatively, there appears to be a newer LG 34UM69G model that is currently on sale at the time of this post for $347.00 available on Prime. I believe the panels are likely the same spec, but the stand for the G which stands for Gaming is a little... sportier? Heh. You also get a free copy of Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon: Wildlands game with the purchase of this monitor through 8/31.

Slightly over your budget. But it’s IPS which has great color and viewing angels ( if you are looking at this straight on you might as well get a TN panel and save like $200). Also has good response time which is super hard to find in budget price range for IPS. You won’t really need anything more 60hz for a ps4 and idk if you trying to 4K game. Once again if ur looking at it straight on I’d get a low latency TN panel and safe some $$ I just assumed since ur using a console u might have some strange angels.
I'm running this build and want to upgrade to an ultrawide monitor (I'm thinking this one). What GPU's can I upgrade to so I can effectively use an ultrawide monitor?

Yes, the higher resolution is good (although I believe it still has a few scaling issues on Windows) but the price is nearly double. (More than double if you are in the US. The 34UM69G can be had for $287 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B06XFXX5JH/ vs $769 for the monitor you linked to)
You don't really need 1ms.
Anything <5 ms is good enough, assuming you're not a competitive gamer (most don't use ultrawides).
Best you can get for your budget is this: https://www.amazon.com/LG-34UM69G-B-34-Inch-UltraWide-Reduction/dp/B06XFXX5JH/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1511412633&amp;sr=1-1&amp;keywords=34um69
