It's not ideal, but the USB-C-to-3.5mm adapters work well enough. They do break, so buy a handful. I'd prefer the jack, but I can (and do) live with this.

Yup, they work. It really just seems like quite an unnecessary frustration to have to bring one everywhere, and to not be able to charge my phone while listening to music

They do make combo charge & listen adapters. I've got one from Anker, works fine.

plus, you can use an external higher-quality DAC...

The official DAC is just as good or better than most alternatives, who can't actually afford to develop something to match their marketing.

Google's adapter is not as good. It's okay though.
