If you hover a function or variable in visual studio code it will tell you exactly what type it expects:

(method) RTCPeerConnection.addIceCandidate(candidate?: RTCIceCandidateInit | undefined): Promise<void> (+1 overload)
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

not sure what you mean by it being super verbose, when i have a type violation i see something like this which tells me exactly what i did wrong:

Argument of type '{ bla: string; }' is not assignable to parameter of type 'RTCIceCandidateInit'.
  Object literal may only specify known properties, and 'bla' does not exist in type 'RTCIceCandidateInit'.
