No, any library author could benefit (strong set of features, added type safety, additional usability for TS users from proper .d.ts files). Key point here, TFA is about libraries not projects.

Learning TypeScript takes a day at most. And if you really need to justify that lost time, just remember that outside of types, everything else is just ES6/ES7 features.
Document it? Ever heard of self-documenting code?
Maintain it? It sounds like you really don't know what TypeScript is about.
