I've had USB-C devices since my first Nexus 6p in 2015. Every charger I've ever had still works. I've had one cord fail in all that time. While USB-C has its flaws, durability isn't one of them for me.

My 2017 laptop has one less than reliable port out of 4 (the rest are fine). They are the only charging ports and since the rest work I should be fine as the hardware otherwise is still working well.
