Thanks for the additional details! I am going to go ahead and order the converter chip (the CP14 isn't available for sale until September 20, but the PW-INC1TR seems to be the same thing (right?).

One more "How is that different from this" if you don't mind: this (FIGURE B) seems to convert the 19-pin to a single USB-C port. But I assume it doesn't have any of the active electronics inside that pair together both USB 3.0 5 Gbps ports into a 3.1 Gen 2 10 Gbps port, and the description says "4.8 Gbps" (i.e. 5 Gbps). So that cable would be worse than the CP14 or PW-INC1TR because it doesn't allow the faster speed, right? Anything else I'm not noticing about it which is worse? I do not plan to buy this, but was wondering to help expand my understanding about this subject.

The speed 5Gbps vs 10Gbps is entirely based on your chipset, nothing to do with pin out.

My motherboard specs says this. The relevant part is AMD B450 chipset: 2 x USB 3.1 Gen 1 port(s) (2 at mid-board). It sounds like this would fit be compatible with the 10 Gbps, right?

I unfortunately can't follow your advice of getting a PCIe expander because my graphics card fills up the sole PCIe slot in my machine. I also would not call any of this a cosmetic USB-C port, because I have a number of devices that use USB-C and I would like to be able to use them on my PC without adapters. Almost all of them don't use an alternate mode and doesn't require PD, they just do regular data transfer over the nicer/smaller plug. I do have my GPU's VirtualLink USB-C port if I need some of the alternate modes, like for video signal or PD. (I believe it supports most of those things except Thunderbolt 3?)
