Your interfaces rarely change in isolation though, right? If they're changing, so are a lot of the places you're interacting with the fields of objects of those types. A "Refactor>Rename Symbol" flow on the interface field would also update all places you used it. I think it may take a little bit of time for things to "click", but once they do, it's usually much faster/easier/safer to work in TS.
