No. It would not be possible to daisy-chain the monitors. The DisplayPort standard may support MST daisy-chaining, and those monitors may support it – but the Mac does not.
Looking at Dell's online manual, I see that both of those monitors are 27", 2560x1440 monitors. Both of them have DisplayPort and HDMI inputs. Both have DisplayPort outputs for MST daisy-chaining - outputs that you cannot use with a Mac. The U2722DE can also take USB-C (DisplayPort) input.
Since your MacBook Pro has a M3 Pro chip – unlike the OP's MacBook Pro, which had only a base M3 chip – it would be possible to dock both of those monitors to your Mac using a single cable. To do that, you will need to buy a Thunderbolt dock or hub that supports attaching two non-Thunderbolt monitors in one way or another. If you look at the offerings from Other World Computing, SonnetTech, and CalDigit, you should find various such docks and hubs.
For instance, here's one from OWC that's relatively low-cost ($130) as far as such devices go.
Other World Computing – OWC 14-Port Thunderbolt Dock
This one has a Mini DisplayPort and a USB-C (Thunderbolt) port for Thunderbolt daisy-chaining.
You could, e.g.,
- Run a USB-C to USB-C cable from the dock to the Dell U2722DE
- Run a Mini DisplayPort to DisplayPort cable from the dock to the Dell U2722D
- Run a Thunderbolt cable from the dock to the Mac
Because your displays have multiple types of inputs, and there are multiple types of USB-C adapters, there are other ways you could do it.
But you can't connect two displays to one Mac host port - in a hardware-supported way - unless
- That port is a Thunderbolt port
- The device connected to it is a Thunderbolt device (typically a Thunderbolt hub or dock). Note: Thunderbolt; plain USB-C hubs and docks will not do
- The Mac in question supports multiple displays
