The cable already exists for fast charging and what not. Seems like going from this phone to the new one (coming Friday!) should be a piece of cake.

Yes it works and Apple actually built a system to copy over files while the device is being set up so they are available quicker. It’s working since iOS 12/13 and the switch to USBC should have zero impact.
But as others have said, you don’t need to tether them. Just keep each of them close by and you’ll be given the option on your existing phone to set up your new one. It will copy over everything outside of Touch ID/Face ID data (as that is stored locally on each device).
The setup process is absolutely painless.
