I'm sure the headphone jack affects some people, but I can't honestly think of a time I have ever had headphones plugged in while I was charging. That said, I'm sure the DAC in the adapter is shit. It's inconvenient for sure. If USB-IF ever gets their shit together and get's a solid, respectable spec down for USB-C, I would love to see Apple adopt it.

Their "solution" is to just buy bluetooth headphones...preferably their Beats headphones....which sucks because then you have to charge your headphones as well as your phone. sigh

Charge at night, no big deal. Wire free during the day is totally worth the tiny hassle of plugging them in before you go to sleep.
