Convergence docking bar and keyboard

The Kbd case[PPKC] is fine to use and I also use single screen HDMI and both work fine.
Just needed to add a wireless mouse to finish the full computer experience while using  Kbd case[PPKC]
I do like the docking bar, just one problem was the plug to the phone has a tendency to fall out.
I gave it a very gentle squeeze across it widest metal section with my electronic pliers and.
This ballooned it out a bit at its middle and it is now better
But then I wonder about other peripherals which provide their own power, like a printer??
But then can connect to them with blue tooth or wifi.
I do like less wires.

Does anyone know if this way of connecting a PinePhone, while in a keyboard case, to a USB-C docking bar (convergence package) is 100% safe?
Code:
pinephone USB-C -> USB-C docking bar -> USB keyboard
|                                    -> USB mouse
|                                    -> HDMI monitor
|
pinephone keyboard case <- (optional) USB-C supply
