People tend to drop type providers in F# for non-trivial programs, because the benefits need to be extreme in order to justify adding flakiness to the build. Type providers also have the problem of yielding errors to people who may not be in the best position to fix them. In a bigger team, it may be better to have one part of the program be yield errors at runtime, but still compile, so the team can keep on working until it is fixed. (The alternative of course being code generation, which is triggered intentionally.)
