Easy to Change to Typescript?

We have had experience in React + Babel + Webapack in the last project and are trying to start from a community "best practises" for our new project.

After doing some research I like the idea of typescript, especially it's IDE support on larger projects. So does anyone know if changing will be as simple as converting webpack to the typescript loader. Or is the integration deeper, and it will be a non trivial task to change it?

Thanks

Review the existing React + Babel + Webpack setup and determine whether the project’s integration extends beyond changing the Webpack loader. The issue names no files, tests, or concrete acceptance criteria, so clarify the migration scope and define what a completed TypeScript transition should include before starting.
