Don't forget - USB is about signals as well as about power. Schiit has its own proprietary Unison USB interface. It has caused a minor Internet storm of supporters vs haters.
I have no opinion about either the necessity for or the implementation of this interface but what you have said so far doesn't rule out the possibility that the USB signalling between Modi 3 and RPi4 isn't up to snuff. Whether or not your powered hub is supplementing current at 5 volts to the Modi 3, it is actively processing the signals going back and forth. It could be that this signal processing is making the difference in your setup.

PS - love your user name. I hope Rocinante is well.
