Your setup includes two USB 3.2 Gen 1 connectors on the front panel, but your motherboard only has one USB 3.2 Gen 1 header. You're interested in using all four USB ports and want to know if it's feasible. The suggested cable appears to help split a single header into multiple ports, though speed may be limited. Using just one port at a time should still allow full functionality. Comparing it to the hub version you mentioned could offer better usability without sacrificing performance. It seems the main concern is compatibility and whether all ports can communicate simultaneously.

The hub is necessary. The Y splitter works best when you have two front panel connectors, yet only one port is utilized per side, a configuration I haven’t encountered before, suggesting this item may not be practical.
