I think the kind of teams that always stay on top of the latest TypeScript version and use the latest language features are also more likely to always stay on top of the latest Node versions. In my experience TypeScript upgrades actually more often need migrations/fixes for new errors than Node upgrades. Teams that don't care about latest V8 and Node features and always stay on LTS probably also care less about the latest and greatest TypeScript features.
