I was able to get it working with ts-node and nodemon. I can’t yet speak for the speed, but it works:

npm i typescript ts-node nodemon -D

# this one worked first
nodemon -I --exec node --experimental-specifier-resolution=node  --loader ts-node/esm ./src/main.ts

# but then I got this one to work, a bit shorter and easier to read IMO
nodemon --exec node --loader ts-node/esm  ./src/main.ts

This was taken from this thread: https://github.com/wclr/ts-node-dev/issues/314
