Have you considered modifying the USB C cable between PC and Pi5?
It's USB 2 only so you only need three wires: ground, D+, and D-. With the +5V wire cut you could power the Pi5 via the GPIO header and skip the Pico.
If you don't want to hack it your self or don't want to power through GPIO there are small boards available that split power and data. I use the ones from 8086.net.
