I just finished something similar: http://caines.ca/blog/2018/12/11/a-javascript-to-typescript-...

We opted to keep it strict (no implicit `any`) through the entire transition but only apply it to ts files, so we are indeed completely free of type errors now. We only have 50 cases of (explicit) `any` in 85K+ LOC and they're in type def files.

Let me be the first person you've met to doubt the value of the type system. I do like the in-editor support, but you pay for it with about 25% more code.

I'm certainly not advocating undoing it, but I personally wouldn't do it again (though the team has mixed opinions).

Just curious: What's your test coverage like?

So how many errors were uncovered, and how serious could they have been?

It's in the blog post, but more were created by the transition than removed. There were less than 10 issues found and none were anything that users were concerned about.
