The idea is that you wouldn't need large refactorings in more dynamic languages in the first place since you are operating on a different abstraction level.

Nothing about static types nor dynamic types dictate what level of abstraction one must operate on.

In the JS based project i recently joined (previously i was writing C# ), what i notice is that in a team of 6 people 4 are doing refactorings every sprint for the past 8 months.

Lol, most of refactoring is bad code or not future-proof code.

Dynamic typing won't help with that.

Best of luck with that.
