I've contributed to large codebases that have static typing (C++ and TypeScript) and dynamic typing (JavaScript) and I've come to the conclusion over the years that static typing isn't really worth it as long as you have the discipline to write tests for your code. The most basic unit tests cover type checking concerns. Refactoring might require a bit more search/replace but I don't see how that is a big deal. Tests make refactoring safer than with just types. Tests act as good documentation of how you expect your code to behave and what expected inputs/outputs there are. You just don't get autocomplete which is a pretty overrated feature imo.
