Do you have anything against USB-C to 3.5 adapters? They're pretty cheap, it wouldn't be a huge stretch to buy one for every pair of headphones you regularly use.

https://www.ebay.com/itm/324680368007 is one that looks like it would do the job.

I actually found out the hard way that a lot of these adapters are trash and completely ruin the audio signal, or don't work with all devices due to the lack of a DAC or just having a bad quality DAC.

Unfortunately, if you want to buy a good and reliable one, you should probably spend at least $15-$20 on one. I've had luck with the Anker-branded one, though the audio quality is noticeably worse than when I used a phone with a direct 3.5mm port. YMMV.

Yeah, nothing extreme against those adapters, that will certainly be the way to go for me if I end up with a phone without headphone jack. I just don't love how they stick out and can snag things more easily in my pocket or bag, but I'd probably put up with it.

How long until USB-C is discontinued and all phones are zero port?

For what it's worth, I went through the same internal debate, and bought a pixel with the Apple adapter since it was highly recommended.

The adapter is awful, my headphones randomly stop working if I move too much, I constantly have to plug it on and off again, etc. Yeah, it's probably because I damaged it, but with the way it dangles off the phone and snags on everything there's no way it wasn't gonna get damaged.

Initially though that the connection was stronger on the jack port than the usb-c but they appear to be quite similar and searching for rating they are both around 10k cycles.

Still I probably put more strain on the jack port than the usb-c, when used only for charging, so if the first one fails at least it does not brick my device.

And i can still charge while listening to music :).

Edit: probably would not buy the adapter you linked put even more strain on the port but corded one exists.
