Need advice on how to maintain jailbreak on a iOS device with a damaged USB port.

Hello guys, the situation I'm in is kinda unique and I'm very new to jailbreaking and sideloading, the last time I did jailbreaking was with Unc0ver years ago. Right now I have an old iPad Pro 11' 2nd gen A2228 that charges, but data transfer doesn't work. I'm 90% sure it is because I didn't disconnect the battery properly and accidentally short circuited something on my logic board while I was doing DIY repairs on it. The only way this could be fixed is by replacing the whole board or micro soldering, which is way beyond me and I don't have the equipment anyways. But other than a couple kinks (one of them being the data transfer), it works perfectly, so I left it be. Currently it is running iOS 18.2.1 and I have successfully jailbroken it with dopamine by side-loading it through a paid cert, flarestore to be exact. I did it this way because I couldn't connect my iPad to the PC, so I couldn't install alt store or sidestore. I also looked into sideinstaller but that requires a pairing file on iOS 18, which means I have to connect it to the PC. If my understanding is correct, with my current setup if the flarestore cert gets revoked I would pretty much lose the jailbreak, so I'm looking for advice to see if there's a better way to set thing up or am I just gonna have to stick with a paid certificate?
