It would certainly be harder with 24 connections approximately in the space of 5.
I've done some mad repairs but I'd want a break out PCB for USB-C
These make it easy to prototype, breadboard or repair if there is space to epoxy it in.

Certainly USB-C has some advantages but it has too many functions and pins.
Edit:
Of course someone sells a USB-C breakout board:

You can also buy a USB-C socket with only 6 pins, "for chargers". They don't say which of the 12 pins are connected (AFAIK the 24 pins are in parallel connected flipped pairs).
