I confirmed with an immigration Attorney today that if somebody that is on opt with expired f1 visa comes in with a Travel document from tps, then they essentially void their opt status in the eyes of immigration department.

The attorney also suggested that I don't travel on TPS because with the new hardline stance on immigration, they could cancel it at anytime.

maybe somebody else will find this helpful but I won't be traveling for a bit until I can secure a different status.
