Is there any risk to doing this?

[sant123]

I don't think so.

[peterblazejewicz]

this impacts interoperability across types, why this bump? (complete removal is completely ok, but not using cutting edge, there should be reason why we use specific TS version)

[EvanHahn]

I got compilation errors (that I didn't investigate) in versions of TypeScript prior to 3.8. In 753d3b6, I lowered this from 4.3 to 3.8.

(Also, it has to be at least 3.2, because that's when BigInts were added to TypeScript.)

that's OK, on DT 3.6 is the latest. I'd not bother with older versions

[EvanHahn]

Sounds good. I'll leave things as is, at 3.8. Let me know if that's wrong.
