The sideways force on the connector while in my pocket has always been a real concern to me. It's the main thing keeping me from regularly using a dongle.

Get a USB-C magnetic breakaway adapter and you shouldn't have concerns damaging the port. Mildly annoyingly will probably breakaway while you're jogging occasionally but at least it shouldn't damage the port.

For a Fairphone, the USB-C is easily replacable though in case it goes wrong: https://shop.fairphone.com/nl/shop/fairphone-5-usb-c-port-26...
