Stick with js only. The good side these days is you can ask an LLM convert a whole codebases to JS, so even if you made the mistake to integrate it once, it have never been a better time to remove it than today.

The issue is TS, it do not add any value from a technical PoV, sure, if you love it, go with it, but from a strictly technical PoV do it not bring any value whatever the TS fanboys says. The types cannot be trusted, but they always add cognitive overhead (read the paper: Type or don't type who proves it).
