It seems to me that the Hungarian notation is just a noisy code smell indicating that the type system is too primitive. With proper types the compiler can disallow illegal operations automatically. Why would you need Hungarian notation then?

You still need to name concepts. Hungarian notation is actually as much about communication as it is about code.

You'll get a lot of the benefits simply by being really disciplined about being consistent and precise with how you refer to things. What Hungarian does is force you to out of necessity.
