Having some experience with both Python and JS/TS, I don't have much preference about ternaries or expressions. Although I always break lines for ternary statements.

const testStuff = condition ? 
  outcome(1) :
  outcome(2);

Having everything on the same line ruins readability for me.

personally I prefer

const testStuff = condition
  ? outcome(1) 
  : outcome(2);

Also works fine and is better than inlining it all. I'm just more used to ending the lines with the symbols - instead of starting the next line with them like your example - because it's the same parttern I use for other stuff, like (curly) brackets.
