Yes. Extra typing is not a huge drain, I agree, but it is a minor one. Shorter is better until it impacts readability. Visual noise is a thing.

Code is read much more often of course. You may argue you can read a fifteen-page book as fast as a ten-pager, but it's pretty clear that's not the case.

Of course tools and inference change the balance, but even so I avoid putting code into the the kiln until the design is fully understood and at least satisfactory. And that can take a few revisions.
