I absolutely want it locally, preferably inside my IDE where it's providing type hints, allowing navigation to type declarations, and alerting me immediately to typing issues live as I'm coding.

Of course I want the type checking locally, what we mean is that we don't want it to prevent webpack to build if the typecheck fails

Flow gives you all of that. The fact that the type checker is separated from the emitter does not mean you can't get any of that.
