You can also only change at 1A with an a to c cable.

Absolutely no issues and I've had it for over a year.
Can't imagine that google would ship their phone with something that can potentially brake it (and other components).
I had a Nexus 6p before my Pixel XL, and it would not charge with A to C cord plugged in to a 1amp brick (the charging sign was just flickering on and off), but worked perfectly fine in a 2 amp brick.
Also, how come it is limited to 1amp, if regular usb a-to-a mini cords can easily 2 amps?
Type c to c natively is 5v3a, and type c devices need to support USB pd as well to negotiate charging rates with in spec chargers and can do more, but legacy dumb type c native chargers are always 5v3a.
So I have tried your theory with my Samsung Note 8 on multiple chargers that all have QC3. I have the original USB-A (to be connected to the QC3 port on the charger) and the USB-C (to be connected to the phone). No matter what charger I use or cable that I use the phone gives me the following message "Android System Fast Charging". Now, the note 8 will only give this message if it is utilizing higher amperage in order to be able to charge fast. Testing this I have also plugged in my Note 8 to a 1 amp, 2 amp, and 2.4 amp USB-A charging ports and the Note 8 does not register them as fast charging.
The only time the Note 8 flagged the charging as "Android System Fast Charging" is the following. 1. Note 8 plugged in via USB-A to USB-C into a QC3 charging port. 2. Note 8 plugged in via USB-C to USB-C into a UCB-C charging port.
Also the stock charger that came with this phone have a single USB-A port on it and Samsung provided a USB-A to USB-C cable with it. When using the OEM charger it also registers as "Android System Fast Charging". Lastly next to the charging message that appears on the phone it shows how much time is needed to be at a full charge. This time was also appropriate depending on what amperage I had the phone plugged into. Meaning that when I used a more powerful charge the time needed to charge it went down.
Maybe what your explaining has been a problem in the past, or with certain phones but it is a non-issue with mine.
Cheers.
Ether way, the type C spec requires usb PD, and if on a to c you ever pull more than 1.5A that cable is dangerous to plug random things in with. And QC1-3 charges with a to c cables are dangerous since if you plug into something with a hub, and QC turns on (it sends voltage over data pins) it will kill things.
