I think it spends on the audience - going for like minded tech savvy folk, I don’t think it matters that much if they have problems typing/remembering whatever TLD extension they will try other methods to find it. Now if your audience is more the general public at large. .com is the default for most web browsers to append to non-TLD identified addresses. Or in a search the .com selection may seem more like the logical choice to a neophyte user. So going for the older generations, try to stick with .com, contemporaries or younger then you probably can diverge from that without problems.
