Meh. For less than $10 you can buy a USB-C to 3.5mm headphone adaptor on AWS. Yes, it's a dongle - which people have complained about, but it's not like you had to go out and buy brand-new headphones. In fact new peripherals weren't needed at all - you might have to buy a few dongles but that's a far sight cheaper than buying all new peripherals.
What I haven't been able to find out is whether the new 3.5mm audio port supports digital optical audio, i.e. Toslink. MacBooks prior to 2016 did. I suppose these don't. Again, you can buy a dongle (see the pattern here?) to handle that as well. Still, if you were using your Mac to drive a Toslink channel you still can. You just can't do it out of the box.
