Sure that's great. But the real advantage is ending up with a repo full of pure-FP code that you can improve/refactor with confidence, right?

Strict compilers make sure my repo only contains code over a certain level of quality. Elm is strict. Code produced in Elm is usually of stellar quality, even by beginners; and if not it's very easy to shape it up later on.

Absolutely, I’m just starting out with Elm and wanting to avoid the JavaScript tooling made Elm stand out. The code quality and helpful compiler is what makes me want to continue to use Elm.
