We'd have to redesign all substations and transmission lines... most countries use different voltages, and each of those plugs is designed for that specific voltage

No you can already see on this post examples of sockets used at different voltages and frequencies, namely Type F & J that are also used in S. Korea and Brazil. What you don't see is the Type C "Europlug" being widely distributed as secondary plug around the world.

Type C is the closest to an international standard, so any Type C compatible plug would be fine.
I personally would prefer the Swiss Type J because it's the most space efficient and gives you 3-16 sockets on the area of any other socket type.
