You don't have to use USB-C plugs for PD. In fact, you can get away with just 3 pins (and ground) as "The USB-PD protocol instead travels through a single bidirectional “CC” line, that depending on the polarity of the connection, may end up being in either the A5 pin (CC1) or B5 pin (CC2). This communication is entirely independent of the primary USB protocol; many USB-PD devices, such as chargers, only implement the USB-PD standard with unconnected data lines."
