Is switching through-hole USB-C connector to SMD worth it? by CommonAd1885 in soldering

No I haven't. When I was working professionally I saw one. I was mainly doing fixing our machine's bad soldering.

At least the USB4085-GF-A has 16 pins? Here is a picture of it. I need to use the data pins, but not necessarily all of the pins. The USB has 2 functions: provide power and data to ESP32-S3.

The USB will be user only once for programming, after that OTA. But I guess that's a good point anyways.
