A small USB type c hub, powered from the thing it's connected to.

May be as small as a cable inter-connect 3 type c sockets, 1 for the phone, and one each for whatever you want to connect to. You could daisy chain these or have hubs that offer 1 in and 6 out, etc.

If I'm on an airplane listening to music/watching a movie on my device, the last thing I want is another dongle to keep track of.

One that passes analogue audio through? Or one that has a built-in DAC?
