Idea: use a power bank that allows in/out at the same time. It should charge both at high speed while also acting as a firewall.

This is also assuming that your powerbank can’t be hacked. In which case, god save us all.

It does add a slight extra layer in that they have to both have a compromise for whatever chip is controlling your bank and a compromise for whatever phone is attached which is more difficult to pack into a small controller chip. Although I'm willing to be a lot of power bank controllers are similar across the market which narrows that difficulty.
If your power bank is qi (MagSafe) to your phone, it will probably be fine given the lack of a wired connection.
