I wouldn't trust the adapters. Maybe in theory it's possible to do it right, bridge PD negotiation to a 1-wire protocol negotiation but you've got to trust that they handled both the usb-c part correctly and the 1-wire part correctly.

There's not much rigorous testing I could find online, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qg6pPDys-s0 tested a few and found that some spark when first connected, which implies they're not doing the 1-wire negotiation properly (real adapters will prevent arcing by sensing if it's connected first before increasing voltage)
