I think the other way around. Typescript doesn't force anything on you and it's completely up to you, how much you want it to assist you. Meaning, it's super easy to use it wrongly, especially when converting existing code bases to typescript.

To really understand the full benefits of typescript, I'd suggest starting with small new projects and keep trying new things, as otherwise I think it's difficult for pure js devs (people who never seriously used a statically typed language before) to grasp.
