[Discuss] Looking for a PCIe USB host bus adapter

I'm looking for a low profile PCIe USB 3.x HBA, for a new home server,
that works with Debian. Which is to say drivers need to be in the
kernel, no binary blobs. I don't need a lot of ports, two type A ports
is enough. A type C port would be a nice upgrade but isn't a
requirement.

Any recommendations? My searches turn up a number of StarTech adapters
but also conflicting reports as to whether or not they actually work
out of the box.
