We found no mechanical issue with the board.

While developing TamaGo I have plugged/unplugged it about 200 times a day for months ;).

My note/doubt wasn't about inserting/plugging/unplugging it (I am pretty sure that is fine or at least as fine as any other USB-C device), it is about leaving it plugged (and sticking out without support) to a PC or some other device (thus exposed to accidental hits).

And if at the end of it there is another little device plugged (or a cable) in the female connector, little by little the weight might losen the receptacle of the PC or however put too much traction on the connector soldering or even (I have seen it happening with some devices) slightly bend the board.
