I don't understand language design or expressiveness but I'm ok with going slow and being restrictive.
I think what we need is a subset of JavaScript, not a superset. There are things we should not be able to do in JavaScript in a web browser because to me that's where JavaScript belongs. I think the whole idea of js on the server or in other kind of projects is very silly. But that's besides the point.
But I agree with your example of symbol in dict. I would be surprised if it isn't already on the roadmap. Have you tried reaching out to the typescript people?

It's not just on the roadmap, it's in code review/iteration as of last week: https://github.com/Microsoft/TypeScript/pull/26797 https://github.com/Microsoft/TypeScript/pull/26797
