> The team has been busy with addressing technical debt that we inherited [...] migrating to Typescript

Wow, not writing stuff in TypeScript is now considered technical debt? I knew people were already rushing to rewrite everything in TypeScript if they could, but didn't knew we'd come this far along the hype-cycle already.

Yes definitely. I've worked at two companies in three years spanning 250,000 employees and both companies consider writing JavaScript deprecated in favor of typescript.
Perhaps because Typescript is a Microsoft baby?
