TypeScript feels "boring" enough at this point that being a few years behind isn't gonna be an issue in most cases. For teams who want to stay on the absolute latest release of TypeScript but want to be more conservative with their Node version, external compilation will remain necessary; but for someone like me, where TypeScript has been "good enough" for many years that I'm not excited by new TypeScript releases, this feature will be really nice.
("Boring" in this context is a compliment, by the way)
EDIT: Though reading other comments, it seems like you can update the typescript stripper independent of node? That makes this moot anyway
