To my knowledge (it’s two years old now, so maybe others have made
progress since then), the best work on bootstrapping TypeScript in Guix
is singpolyma’s work here:

https://git.sr.ht/~whereiseveryone/guixrus/tree/master/item/guixrus/packages/javascript/typescript.scm

There are dozens of JS packages there.  These along with esbuild are
used to build TypeScript.  Everything is built from source (at least
that’s what I remember singpolyma telling me, and it looks like it from
a cursory glance), but no tests are run.  It’s still a mountain of work
to get those packages up to Guix standards, but the fundamentals are
sorted.  It’s a very promising approach; it just needs someone to carry
it across the finish line.
