What are the logistics involved for getting these returning home for a second trip once reaching enemy shores?

Would it even be possible or were these vessels always meant for just one initial use during each battle?

The Zubr range is showing as 560km at 55 knots.

So example round-trips include:
1. Fujian-Taiwan
2. Within the SCS islands

Zubrs will be used when sea lanes are secured

I doubt Zubr will be used in a middle of a war zone

too vulnerable

Does China have a substitute engine under development for Zubrs?

Good question. Both Ukraine and Russia manufacture engines for it.

A better question would be: does china has any plan to develop a hovercraft of this class, or is this something that they wont pursue in the future?

A nice demonstration of the size of Zubr's shrouded propellers.
