For smaller projects, I find that the value is less the type safety (still valuable) and more the much stronger control of intellisense. Yeah, if you have a language server that's able to deal with typings your JS code will still be a lot better than without it, but starting with TypeScript just makes that way more fluid. I find that I write TypeScript much more quickly, and more correctly, than I do JavaScript, both for small and large projects.
