@raclim, you might want to check with your dev team if they agree with my proposed changes. I personally NEVER use any, unless under some very exceptional circumstances.

Thanks for the suggestion!

Will tag @clairep94 and @khanniie to chime in on this, since they have been leading the TypeScript migration work!

if typechecks pass idm merging it in! defer to @clairep94 on if she had a reason for using one over the other, i recall we may have had a conversation on a PR about using any but i forget if it was about this particular case and were we ended up on it

I'm going to merge this in since it makes sense to me, but please feel free to follow up if any thoughts come up!
