Agree it is a pain. I have been using nx and it handles all that for you, playwright is a separate project with it's own twconfig and they all inherit from a root tsconfig.
I prefer nx for single applications and move shared code to "libraries" (I use non-buildable libs). It's pretty sweet for larger projects.
