I use a silicone dust plug in the USB-C port of my 17 Pro and used on in my 15 the entire time I had it. Only removed it occasionally to remove the case to clean out dust or very very occasionally to connect to a computer. I pretty much always charge wirelessly so there's no need to expose it to dust or moisture.


I'm more comfortable with silicone because I don't want to risk damaging the contacts in the port.
