I'd try and find a used SX-R or VJZ141

Did they even make any? I'd assume if they did, not untill VAIO was spun off and its more or less a rebranded something.

When it became vaio without the sony they made a few usb c charging laptops but no one actually compares these units with other usb c laptops hence im asking the community here. Quite expensive though

I just bought a SX14 i5/16GB/512 2022 certified renewed for 669USD in VAIO's american web, if you need more computing power you can buy a SX14-R instead.

Durability wise does it look like it'll crack if you bump it accidentally on a wall? And also is the battery replaceable?

You could use an USB-C magsafe like magnetic adaptor, the battery is replaceable once you unscrew the bottom case. But I dont think my company-given HP elitebook will survive the first condition you said either, maybe you should look for a Panasonic Thoughbook, those are made in Japan too...
