I am wondering if Tolkein could typed or afford a typist how much more material he would have produced.

He typed his own manuscripts.
He did leave behind a massive amount of material of drafts that he did not pursue, background information, and more. He also did a number of watercolor views of his world.

That’s a good question. My impression is that Tolkien was just as interested in compiling dictionaries and genealogies and composing poems as he was in a narrative structure ... maybe even more.
