My current choice for a multiport wallwart has a 65W USB-C port, 3 20W USB-C ports and 2 20W USB-A ports. At one time I had 6 devices plugged in and was drawing 150W and no issues other than warming up to ~40°C. I also have a couple of 20AH and 10AH powerbanks. And yeah, that stubby power strip is also a must have when travelling.

OTOH, my daughter picked up a 5 port wallwart which claims up to 65W on each of the 3 USB-C ports and 20W on the 2 USB-A ports and is labelled as a 235W unit. Sadly, in testing, you can only use 1 of the USB-C ports for 65W. With that load on one USB-C port, the other 4 ports have a maximum of 45W and the unit gets very warm rapidly when the load is ~95W.
