I would rather have Clojurescript than Typescript, but absolutely, less is more, and it feels like a bad idea to tie implementation of this runtime to another dependency.

My love of the C++, Java, C#, ad nauseum, lineage of Enterprisey OOP languages turned to hate about 15 years ago, though, so take my assessment with a grain of salt.

“C with classes” seemed like a good idea, we were told back in the 80s in school, since garbage collection is impractical. Er, yeah. Worse is better...

GC is impractical in many domains.

And in the 80s it was even more so due to CPU and RAM performance.
