No, JSX in AssemblyScript with the same dev experience is very far away.

AssemblyScript is awesome, but right now it's more similar to C (with TS syntax) - it's not a TypeScript runtime on Wasm, it's a lowlevel language that looks nearly the same, that hopes to integrate Wasm GC etc when it comes (not yet).

Static TypeScript is much closer to regular TypeScript. But it doesn’t support JSX either (and I while it might make sense with a custom pragma it certainly wouldn’t make sense with React as a default).

That's ultimately why I couldn't move forward in it. My brain just kept thinking typescript and it was hard to manage the cognitive dissonance of it being identical syntax but with invisible limitations I wasn't used to.
