After looking further into this, it seems that my knowledge of the use of super() and super(props) is correct. The issue I am experiencing with super(props) being marked as deprecated is due to an erroneous deprecation marking in React's TS definitions.

What should've been marked as deprecated was the overloaded form of super, super(props, context), which takes a context prop used by React's legacy context API.

The issue is better described and discussed at this (currently open) issue on Microsoft's TypeScript github page: https://github.com/microsoft/TypeScript/issues/40511
