Did you try out https://package.elm-lang.org/packages/cmditch/elm-bigint/lat...? I've used that for things that I know exceed the browsers limits with JS numbers. Had to use it recently with something that returned a JS BigInt (which was a whole other buggy problem).

The problem with that is that by the time you have a problem it's too late.

Python has real integers that don't overflow. Elm does not.
