I would have to disagree with this post (first point is actually inaccurate and the second I could go either way on).

Type annotations/mypy, especially when coupled with dataclasses/pydantic has been very helpful in maintaining a rather substantial 3.7 codebase.

I agree. I'm currently working on a project containing 45k lines of Python code and we have really benefited from having type annotations.

What size codebase is substantial?

Excluding tests/patches to third party libs, around 65K LOC
