What did you end up choosing & why?
I'd reconsider that if I was doing more than the odd bug fix on the project. I still like Python, and started using type hints early, but there's enough added friction to make me question using them in the future.
I imagine on big projects the benefit is clearer.
Asking because I was really, really annoyed by the non-helpfulness of the type hints in practice, contrary to the theory.
