You're right, I guess I might as well just get some straight breakouts for a USB-C for the 5V case, but then I'll be limited to half an amp, which is probably fine for my uses, I guess.

USB-C supports up to 3A without PD, using only (I believe) resistors/voltages to communicate the limit.

That's what many simple early USB-C chargers used to do in order to supply 15W without full PD signalling.

I didn't realize that, thanks!
