Since `.ts` extensions were in alpha, our repo has been set up so that you can switch between Node and Deno seamlessly in-editor and continue developing with no config or source changes.
Personally, I found all the `npm` integration stuff to be a bit overkill for what we were looking for, and honestly Deno's network requests while installing from npm were constantly flaking out in our CI. We ended up just disabling it via Deno's `--no-npm` flag (https://github.com/denoland/deno/issues/17916) and reverting back to a simple set of import_maps to get the node deps we needed. Works like a charm!
