I went through exactly what you went through and by god it was frustrating.

Eventually I did get stuff to work, but in the process I became an expert in a bunch of tools that I never wanted to be an expert in. I just wanted to write my business logic :') It makes me long for Java tooling.

To top it all off, I don't think could've done a better job than the people responsible for this complexity.

I guess eventually all tools will converge to a de-facto mixed module/commonjs module resolution standard which roughly matches what tsx (the ts-node replacement, not the file extension) does.
