Get a couple of keys and try to keep them in different places. Email, at least, needs to be absolutely secured, as an email compromise will allow a SIM swap which gets around SMS authentication. The usb a connectors are not bi-faced, but the yubikey does not enforce the direction.

One thing to watch out for, be careful on how you plug in the yubikey. To the best of my knowledge, there is no way around a hardware key unless the user up and bypasses it themselves. There are now inexpensive "toolkits" that allow the bad guys to set up phishing attacks that get around all forms of 2FA. If there is a product supply shortage, supplier will contact you.Just do it.
