Why? These things take weeks to ship from China, no reason not to order one now.
You can use this right now to get homebrew on 5.1.0, there are no other methods for newer firmwares.
Unless someone comes out with a cooldboot exploit (highly unlikely, *especially* on newer firmware versions)...
Other than the fact that it has a USB connector, is there any particular reason you expect it to work?
My guess is that it doesn't have USB host mode capabilities.
I think this only works to connect a 2.0 device to a typeC 3.1 host, not the other way arround. I haven't tried though, it would be great if this does work.

(Again, would need rewriting in C...)

I don't think the default configuration even has DHCP, just a static IP of 192.168.1.1, where ssh is running.
If you can get a root shell on it, in theory you can still run fusee-nano - no real need to actually replace the entire firmware. You'd have to do the EHCI patch in-memory, but that can be done. If the rootfs is not writable, that would be a bit annoying since you wouldn't be able to install...
If you read the thread, you'd know that there are already cheap ($12) chinese "dongles" capable of launching payloads (you *do* need an A-to-C adapter, but that's only another ~$2). There is no need to "wait" for TX to do anything, since they aren't doing anything new and we already know exactly...
I have the version without the battery in-hand, and I used it by powering over the microusb port in the side. My battery powered one is on the way from China...
a) My 10k implementation which was being discussed relies on the linux kernel
b) Good luck finding a USB host mode stack for PIC
That said, there are plenty of other inexpensive microcontrollers with a USB stack, namely the SAMD21
