i wonder how often you can plug/replug the connector in this case. how will the pcb material hold up? with my press-fit or clip-fit (is that a term?) 3d prints, ive noticed that 20 cycles can be sufficient to induce substantial 'loosening'.

It’s likely in the order of 10-30, especially with something like ENIG as a finish. If you wanted more cycles, you’d want to switch to a hard gold finish which would likely increase the cost substantially.
This is truly only for a debug port, not anything else.
I have posted new test results on the github! It did 110 mating cycles without any major issues
Plug an OTG cable in and connect to that, so you don't repeat plug-unplug?
What about the force transferred by the connector wiggling? I think You'd need a very good mechanical design on the case to make it all work.
