As a full time C programmer, implicit type conversion is probably my least favourite feature of C. Especially compared to other infamous aspects of the language.
For all its drawbacks, unchecked memory access is a defining feature of C. Try to remove it and you end up with a language that is very clearly distinct from C, hence Rust, Java, etc.
I think implicit conversation shuld just be removed from the language. The ergonomic benefits don't outweigh the harms.
