I hear you, but it's a risk I'm happy to take , for a couple of reasons
USB-C is backwards compatible for basic functions - A USB-A to USB-C cable will fast charge a low powered USB device (a phone or a speaker, say), and possibly a tablet, which is all I need in the kitchen
I don't need it to power a laptop or gaming console, and I'm not using it for data transfer
If I do need the full USB-C power, I've a couple of 40W / 60W USB-C wall warts that will do the job.

RE the pop-up socket - I love the ideas of these, however, a lot also have the USB ports built-in. I think most things will be moving to a USBC standard in the coming years so maybe try to pick one of those up to not render yours obsolete in a few years.
