How to make the transition relatively painlessly:
- Buy a bunch of these, and tie one to the end of every USB C cable, now you only need USB C cables around.
- As you get more C-C cables, buy these for your existing USB A ports:
just be mindful of latency, so maybe you want to try a few
These are a passive component
You have to be mindful of the adapter standard to ensure you’re getting the data transfer speed you want, and from experience same standard usb adapters aren’t the same quality across makes

These are just glorified wires, there's no possibility of latency. There's a possibility of a loose connection, but not of latency.
Should the C to micro cables always work for charging?
Think I bought a bunk one… I never cheap out on cables anymore, of course the one time in YEARS that I do…
Usb C has a default of 5V, 2A. This matches/exceeds the micro USB standards. In order to get a higher voltage, it negotiates up. (Or it's supposed to! China can produce some NASTY exceptions!)
Yeah, I think so...
I do have some micro usb devices that won't work with some newer Power Delivery Adapters, but it's the brick part, not the USB C cable since the same cable / adapter will work with a different brick.
