Is it possible to enable PGPony's sign-on feature on iOS using keys stored on a USB-connected YubiKey instead of an NFC-enabled one?
It is possible. In the Settings menu, you need to change the "Hardware Key Connection" setting from "Automatic" to "USB-C (plugged in)".

Confirming your own answer, with one note: this setting is brand new. USB-C support arrived in yesterday's update, which is why the option was not there when you first asked. Settings, Hardware Key Connection, "USB-C (plugged in)" is exactly right, and Automatic prefers NFC when both are available, which is why the switch matters. Good timing on the re-check, and thanks for coming back to post the solution instead of leaving the thread hanging.
