I just converted my JS frontend to TS frontend. I've learned a lot about TypeScript during this process. Also, TypeScript has wonderful tooling! I love how well VS Code integrates with TypeScript, providing code completions and such (yeah I know both of them are born under Microsoft, so they will work together pretty well, but still!)

So you can start converting a component written in JavaScript to TypeScript one by one?

Are there any interop issues? TYpeScript component not being able to call components written in pure JavaScript, vice versa.

Yes.

No, AFAIK. You can use your pure JS components and libraries.
