I've felt the same, but I blame error messages and language ergonomics rather than the practice itself. Basically, everything you said, but with optimism that future languages and language implementations make 'hyper typing' a good practice. Recent languages have shown that there's a lot of room for improvement on error messages in complex programs. Hopefully that extends to complex types before too long.
Fully agree. TS shouldn't throw internal types into the user's face. The errors UX is abyssymal. The fact that the most popular editor - VSC - doesn't preserve line breaks makes reading TS errors even worse. I highly recommend the pretty TS errors extension, otherwise you're only hurting yourself working with TS.
