For whatever it's worth, Apple does sell a lightning to 3.5mm cable for wired audio: https://smile.amazon.com/Apple-Lightning-3-5mm-Audio-Cable/d....

Arguably there should just be a lightning-to-lightning connection option, but where there's a dongle, there's a way.

I use this device all of the time with a TRRS gaming headset.

Ideally is corded mic and corded ethernet. Failing that, corded headset and wifi from a phone is runner up.

Sounds like a job for an iPhone connected to an Apple Lightning to 3.5mm Adapter connected to a 3.5mm cable connected to another Lighting to 3.5mm Adapter to my AirPods!

That converts the digital signal to analog and back again, which isn't ideal.
