Are the 27" LG displays 5k? If so, I'm surprised that even two will run.

The 2018 Mac Mini supports 3 Displays.

2 Displays on the Thunderbolt ports and 1 Display on the HDMI port.

I connect my Mac Mini to both LG and Acer 27" Monitors (dual monitor setup) via an Alogic USB Docking Station. I also have to switch between my Mac Mini and a Windows Notebook (Windows 11) too. You use DisplayLink drivers. Works fine.
