If you consider OCaml's features overwhelming why don't you consider a much simpler language (Typescript etc.)?

I am learning OCaml myself right now, and I only use the features which I currently need. If I need more I will learn OCaml's suitable features then. Btw. I like OCaml, after having tested Haskell for a while. OCaml feels like a really practical usable "Haskell light". The compilation speed is outstanding (like LuaJiT).
