There are other benefits over a test.

The compiler tests the type is correct wherever you use it. It is also documentation.

Still have tests! But types are great.

But sadly, in practice I don't often use a type per ID type because it is not idiomatic to code bases I work on. It's a project of its own to move a code base to be like that if it wasn't in the outset. Also most programming languages don't make it ergonomic.
