To be honest — I think even in my 90KLOC Haskell codebase — handling these breaking changes are a cheap and easy change because of the compiler.

Yeah, refactoring the whole codebase in a language like Haskell is, maybe not trivial, but something the language lets you lean into, systematize, and make SOP.
