Can using chargers without their “bricks” (plugging directly into a USB port) hurt the device or just slow the charging?

I’m traveling out of the country (from USA to EU) and bought a couple converters for my electronic devices (tablet, phone, etc). My question is, can I leave the charging “bricks” with the standard plug at home and use the USB outlets on my converter to charge my devices or will that harm them. I think all it could potentially do is slow the charging on the ones that increase the wattage, but am I missing something? Thanks in advance!

It’s fine, but they may just give you 5W of charging while a proper adapter could give you 20-30+
