In combination with other linting rules to catch reckless conditionals and multiline returns, it is absolutely safe to enforce no semicolons. And the visual noise is, at least to my eyes, a significant impact.
If visual noise is an issue, I made a VSCode theme specifically for muting things like quotes and semicolons, that way I don't have to choose between explicit semicolons and reduced visual clutter: https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=wildpeak...
The theme was primarily made for me, but I published it because others might find the idea useful.
