Mypy is far too slow to type check a codebase like Google's. That's why Facebook, Google, and Microsoft have/had their own solutions.

pylance and others are great for IDE type checking as you go along, but when you ship your code off to the CI it's best to stick to mypy for the full automated run, since mypy is in some aspects a bit of the "reference implementation" for python typing (meaning, it's a good choice as the common denominator the code you ship will have with other code it interacts with).
Ideally yes, but there's conflicts between the type checkers.
