The problem starts when multiple ports are involved. Plugging in a second device can trigger unpredictable behavior, which is usually acceptable for battery-powered devices. But for devices that need a continuous power supply (e.g., a Raspberry Pi), multi-port chargers aren’t reliable –– connecting another device may briefly interrupt power.
Using a traditional power strip with one dedicated adapter per device avoids this issue.
For now, I’m sticking with individual USB-C adapters for non-battery-powered devices.
