It's a hard problem to solve.

TypeScript excels at informing IDE's and developers. Typing improves my ability to understand APIs both as a library user and contributor. So I see the benefit exceeds the issues of TypeScript.

A better approach would be a more gradual. Perhaps keep the .ts files (or at least develop .d.ts files) for the public API and main components.
