Charging an iPad Pro without a functioning USB-C port

I'm very confused. Everyone keeps telling me what I know but doesn't answer my question.

What I know: 1) I did the research on inductive charging and learned it's not possible because iPads use an aluminum backing instead of glass like iPhones. An engineer explained to me that if I want to cry now every time I fall asleep reading and the iPad lands on my nose, I'll want to scream if they used a glass back on the iPad. 2) There are 2 alternative options to charging without the charging port: Apple's Magic Keyboard or Ku Xiu's iPad charging stand. Both rely on the smart connector to power the iPad. The most obvious difference between the 2 is the keyboard, but I wanted to know about their performance.

What I want to know: The keyboard aside, how comparable are the Apple Magic Keyboard and Ku Xiu's stand? Do they charge the iPad fully, meaning reaching 100% battery level? What about the charging speed?

Since everyone kept telling me I can't do inductive charging on the iPad - which I already knew - but couldn't tell me how the Magic Keyboard and Ku Xiu's stand differ in performance, I decided to conduct an experiment myself. I tested both the Magic Keyboard and Ku Xiu's stand.

What I learned: Luckily, both worked like a dream at charging the iPad. Whew! The thing had completely died after not being charged for 5 days. Both stands are also able to fully charge the iPad to 100%. They take roughly the same amount of time to go from 0% to 100%: 6 1/2 to 7 hours. Not too bad considering I was expecting it to take all day. This means I can keep my iPad and maybe get another year or two out of it.

This is good news. My first iPad, which I got in 2011, lasted 5 years. It used the 32 pin connector and was the most sturdy charging port I've ever used on iPads. The next 3 iPads (2 iPad Airs and an iPad Pro) lasted 2 years max. They used the lightning charging port, which was really fragile. My current iPad Pro uses the USB-C charging port and lasted more than 3 years. The charging port is always the first thing to die. Since the other short-lived iPads had performance issues after only one year - unrelated to the charging port - I wasn't too sad to let them go when the charging ports died. The current iPad Pro is still running as well as when it was new, so I'd like to keep it a bit longer.

Question answered. Thank you to everyone who tried to help me choose between the Magic Keyboard and the Ku Xiu stand.

Wow, thanks for the visual aid. But you didn't answer my primary question: Is the Ku Xiu charging stand a viable option (implied in that question is ... compared to the Magic Keyboard)?

My main concern is that I get a full charge. I expect the charging speed to be like swimming in a tub of molasses, but I can keep it on the stand overnight. I need it to be able to get to full charge without staying on the stand for 2 days as I take the iPad to all my meetings. I can't drag a stand, a keyboard, my files, etc., everywhere on the subway. If the Ku Xiu stand is useless, I'll either buy the Magic Keyboard to extend the life of the device for another year or replace the charging port myself. It only costs about $25 to buy the part. I can borrow a heat gun and crack it open to DIY it. I replaced the battery on 3 iPhones and it wasn't too bad. I'm reluctant to dismantle the iPad because it's a bit more complicated to crack open and it may be too easy to slice up the ribbon cable or crack the digitizer, which would render the device a paperweight. But I don't want to give Apple $450 to fix it.
