I'm willing to spend a little bit more for Anker which I know makes good quality products, honors their warranty and has a safety certification instead of some unknown brand without any safety certifications. It's not worth it to me to risk a fire in my house to save $10 or $20.

I've owned this (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DSJCQ6R4) product for over a year, used at home and when traveling across the country (this is actually feather light, which should be one of the major advantages dc adapters advertised as GaN-based). My house has yet to burn down, and my electronics that I've powered or charged haven't exhibited any signs of unexpected degradation or failure. To the contrary I recently purchased a rechargeable AA/AAA battery bank with USB-C power input and had one of the GaN adapter's safety mechanisms actually trip. The port disabled after the battery charger got too hot (guessing it tripped some sort of resistance threshold), but all the other ports remained active. Anecdotes from individual anonymous sources online should carry little weight though, regardless if for or against.
Winded response aside, the product I linked above, pictured here, on a scale: https://i.postimg.cc/4yNYMYWJ/image0.jpg it has all of the certs, 3x the wattage, up to 140w on two ports, and actually capable of 600w total simultaneous output with all ports in use, less than 1lb and only $13 more than this "sale" from Anker.
Additional thoughts regarding the weight.
1) Yes, it's heavy, but the long power cord will allow you to swap out 6x 6ft cables on a dongle for 6x 1ft cables, so that's ~300g saved.
2) Consider swapping the entire unit with an Anker 112W charger or similar (half the weight and power) if you are OK with max 30W on a port.
