The extra wear on usb-c port is definitely still an issue as I have had that be the reason for needing to replace my wife's phone twice now. It was worse with micro-usb in my experience, but it stopped me from making use of my usb-c dongles. BTW, if you're using usb-c DACs, most kinda suck. Weirdly, I found the one from Google actually had the best sound, but if you haven't had an issue thus far then don't sweat it.
Indeed, I had to replace the micro usb port in about 4 years (and it was already mulfunctioning probably for years), while the type c port still works almost flawlessly.
About the dac, even though I dont think I can detect the difference, I remember seeing comments that the previous model of my adaptor had a bad dac (or it didnt even have one??), but they seemingly fixed it ij the new model.
(PS. I download flac songs, but I dont think I can tell the difference between a proper lossless flac and a 64kbps opus, lol. It might be bad equipment, it might be my hearing, it might be that I tend to listen at low volumes, a combo of all the above or something.)
It had to have a DAC if it was converting the bluetooth digital signal, but it could have been either a bad DAC or just poorly implemented DAC chip. I've seen it in a lot of these types of devices (Fiio, I am looking at you). It's not like the chips are that expensive in comparison to the final price of the device.
Oh oops, I was talking about a type c to audio jack adaptor
