Typescript/Deno is very ergonomic and presents a lower barrier for entry for writing web servers. However, it's a relatively large and slow to start runtime which makes it less than ideal for developer tools.

You should use the right tool for the job. Not every language is good for every job or every person.

I have done work on compiler, developer tooling and a lot of other stuff people would consider 'compilated' and working on those was far less complex than some business logic in API's I have had to work upon.

So if the experienced developers writing Deno are using Rust for type safety etc to catch their mistakes, then why would you trust yourself to use a less strict lanaguage on a likely more complex project?
