Alternatively, if your current phone doesn't have a headphone jack, do you wish it did?

Completely disagree. Dongle dacs are noisy, easy to break, etc. The dacs in phones were fine, easily transparent against whatever else is external and bulky. If you're worried about the cable, use headphones with replaceable cables.

Having a jack also doesn't prevent any of the other options. No reason not to include it.

Having used the cheapest $1 dongle dac I could find as an oscilloscope input in what was categorized by the station operator as a high noise environment, my experience with their nosiness runs counter to yours.
