I think a little bit of OOP-related messiness is easily worth it to be part of a mainstream ecosystem.

An interesting opinion on OOP in F# from Eirik Tsarpalis, who curiously started out their programming with pure FP in Haskell [1].

And a talk from Don Syme, the author of F#, on good F# code as they see it [2]. It's a great talk overall and they specifically address OOP's good and bad bits starting from about 39:00.
