Might work, but it is going to take a long time. I use a 60W travel charger and it works fine with both my 13" and 16" MBPs.
 
All USB C chargers are working and don’t harm. Its just the lower the wattage the slower it charges.

u can even use an iphone charger. Or charge the iphone with the 96W MB charger. And all other brands with USB C work fine as well.
thats why its called “UniversalSB” ;)

of course if u r firing up the CPU and dGPU and it goes above the wattage u can provide with the attached charger it doesn’t help...
