should only strip types if they aren't exported, or used by an exported type. example:

export type Foo = { GlobalBaz: Baz }
type Bar = { string }
type Baz = { [string]: (...number) -> () }
local function f(_bar: Bar): ()
end
return { f = f }

->

export type Foo = { GlobalBaz: Baz }

type Baz = { [string]: (...number) -> () }
local function f(_bar)
end
return { f = f }

actually, whether to strip all types versus only non-exported types should probably be a configuration option. completely stripping types would probably be useful when wanting to run Luau code in other Lua runtimes. stripping all types by default is probably the best first step.
