Nothing can stop us from making the same PCB but with USB Type C connector for charging.

Actually I'm using it in my other device according to the exactly same thoughts.

I've never tried hand soldering a USB-C SMT connector, expecting it to be somewhat harder than Micro USB, is it reasonably doable with hot air?

Oh, in fact it's much simpler than MicroUSB. There is special type of USB Type C used for charging - https://en.ovcharov.me/uploads/2020/04/06/20200404_092055.jp...

It has only six huge pads and can be soldered either with hot air or normal soldering iron as a charm.
