I’m an imager and observer and have used 5m USB2.0 and USB3.0 cables ( 22/28 AWG conductor sizes ) for various astrophotography hardware and software programs ( cameras, mounts etc.. ) without any issues at all I’ve 3 years
I think a key factor is cable quality ie: conductors with 99% pure copper conductors , quality shielding and or braiding , 90 deg bend tolerance of cable etc....
There are good cables and there are poor quality cables. For me it was a trial and error process to find good quality cable
Hope others can offer some advice too
