I like that you categorized a static analysis tool like ESLint as a level of your automated testing structure. Its good to use a static analysis tool for keeping syntactical consistency within your code base. One thing I would not categorize as a static analysis testing tool is TypeScript since it's a strong typed programming language.

Also, I caution against saying that E2E tests provide the most confidence of a software platform's quality. Its the wholistic nature of all the automated & manual test that provides confidence in your software's quality.
