I really dislike type-of (e.g. what's the type of nil?  Is `bold'
a symbol or a face?).

Actually (let ((foo ...)) ...foo...) does not use more "state".
State only creeps in when we use things like setq.

As for whether the use of a let-binding for a single-use variable is
warranted: it mostly depends on aesthetics.  In this specific case, I'd
favor the let-form since it gives a name to the intermediate value
without costing you an extra line.
