Two hours of work after 4 years sounds ... perfectly acceptable?

And it would have run perfectly right away if the node version was specified, so a good learning, too

This feels like making a mountain out of a mole hill

I agree. It is not weird if you try to run old code through new env / vm / framework / compiler it can break.

Locking env version is important.

Double points for using experimental / POC technology like gatsby or nextjs. They are expected to burn and fail
