Stronger type systems really do prevent bugs. In Rust I probably spend 20% of the time at most debugging. Of course you pay for that by the fact that it takes longer up front to write Rust because you have to think about it more, but overall I think it’s a net win.
You also get the bonus of nasty bugs like crash bugs and exploitable memory problems become almost entirely a thing of the past. You can ship new software you know is very reliable.
