I personally never had a case where Typst couldn't do what I wanted and usually found something better in Typst instead.

Same. I love the structure and syntax. I did not mean to sound a bit like hater. I just wanted to mention that there are niche usecases where you might still need LaTeX.

No worries, you are right. And even if typst was perfect you have to work with other authors or journals that won't want to use it
