I don't have any C devices myself, and given the issues I've heard with C chargers, cables, and devices, I'm inclined to say "maybe". But I think the answer is rather "no", because of course in the long run, this mess will probably sort itself out and we'll be able to swap chargers super easily.

Two weeks ago a charger of mine finally broke on the hottest day so far (it was getting hot since day one, ~8 years ago, but this day finally did the trick), I ended up taking out the hard drive behind twenty screws and unplugging the laptop keyboard, because I didn't have a replacement charger. I wouldn't have had a replacement C charger either, but that would be different in years to come.

I guess more universal chargers is more better. Looking at you, work phone (Apple branded, and battery draining unlike any OS I've ever seen, so having only one charger is super annoying).
