I think it would be really good if they spun off a "T#" which moved closer to TypeScript and effectively chopped off some of the older syntax and even some of the features in favor of a more streamlined language.

C# and TypeScript are already fairly similar. In my mind, T# would be like a trimmed down C# with a bit more influence from F#.
