You hit the nail on the head. The biggest save for well structured teams would have to be revisiting tickets/speed of development. Having a compiler tell you: this field is missing, this field is wrong, a cannot be b saves a ton of time in terms of development validation (manual or automated).



As someone who grew up on Python and Javascript, I was never really that sold on typing, until I refactored something by changing a field on the model and Flow showed me all the places in the code that needed to be updated.

Granted, other more mature type systems/IDE will automatically refactor, but this was a really big obvious win for me :)
