I can't speak to your use case, but for past projects I've not only wanted to share types but actual logic. For instance, if you want instantaneous validation on the frontend, while applying the same logic on the backend with submitted data. In many instances that would be simple and maybe even serializable, but in my case I was working with architectural data that had extremely detailed logic for what was and was not valid.

That's simple; check out https://Orval.dev or https://Kubb.dev. Both of which can generate validation code (among other things) from OpenAPI.

Using a TS validation library like Zod gives you both the shared validation code for both the frontend and backend, the TS types, as well as the json schema for openapi. It's a triple whammy too good to ignore. Especially as a small team it is huge leverage enabling you to go further faster.
