That's 100% a project setting you can turn on or off though, it's like -Wall in C++ projects.

I'm also a back-end dev who's worked in fintech and IME, TypeScript is a great choice.

From my experience with python, none of its type checking libraries are complete enough.

I know, it’s just not realistically up to me. I depend on the team/company culture which I’d rather not have in the picture - I’ve already gone through trying to fight the sea of unknown/any.
