Typescript compiler can be configured to silence many kinds of errors, these are especially useful while migrating a large Javascript codebase. Also look at typescript not just from an error catching perspective but also from a tooling and documentation point of view. With types at hand, modern ides work much better and reading types often helps in understanding the code. All that said if the project is small and more of a throw away with only a few members contributing code typescript may not add benefits.
