Is Typescript worth it in a small team?

I haven't used Typescript but I've read a lot about it here and and in other places online. Some people seem to love it. It is my understanding that Typescript really helps in large projects, with many developers.

We are two developers, and we pair-program most new code together. Our codebase is 6k lines in .vue files and 9k lines in .js files. We're using Vue3 and Quasar. Would it be worth it for us to adopt Typescript?

The transition would take time so it would delay some of our feature work. But perhaps it would speed up future development after the transition? Or wouldn't it make a difference with such a small team? Also, do you have any tips for how to adopt Typescript in an existing codebase, if we decide to go down that route?
