Typescript IS a different language than Javascript (for good or for bad), meaning you are compounding the issues with Javascript ecosystem with the issues with Typescript compilation.
Most of my code today is very straightforward, start a project, add type: module and 90% of the packages will work. If it doesn't, I either pick one of the 1M+ alternatives, try to decipher the issue (often is changing the import format or entrypoint), or avoid using a package for the problem I was trying to solve if trivial enough.
