I've seen too many projects fail because they are way over-engineered. A complex pipeline, build system, developers not familiar with the practices, etc. all adds up. Now I do not know how much typescript might add in cost to all of this, but it's definitely part of what I'd consider an over-engineered MVP.

You can equally over-engineer in dynamic languages, don't see how a type system is to blame.
