That's always a possibity. You can even generate TypeScript types from ReScript. I was also thinking of using ReScript for domain logic and TypeScript for (React) JSX, because TypeScript has less ceremony for conditional rendering. But that scenario is not perfect. For one thing, if ReScript is your language of choice, not being able to use it in your views is not much better than just using templates with a DSL for loops and conditions. No big deal, but I'm already spoiled by the flexitibily of JSX. Also, having to compile (or at least typecheck) both ReScript and TypeScript means maintaining more dependencies. Also, TypeScirpt error messages are kinda meh. Also, context switching. So, all things being equal, I think I'd prefer to use less languages.
Yeah mind you does this work in the rest of the template? I read this as a way to process blocks. I know like Riot and Knockout used to also support setting the language in the template. Like in the expressions but on quick read I didn't see that.
I imagine it is possible for JavaScript based framework to import Rescript files and if they aren't working on custom Single File Component formats then they can get the full power of it without any preprocessor. But getting the syntax inside the template I think is the more interesting challenge. JSX feels like it could be that bridge with the right support.

We're a place where coders share, stay up-to-date and grow their careers.
Svelte is extensible enough that if you wanted to, you could add support for ResCript via a preprocessor: svelte.dev/docs#svelte_preprocess.
Or an alternative approach is to import external res files into your svelte components: github.com/sabinbajracharya/Svelte...
