Laravel 8, NPM Wepback API configuration problem, using Yarn on Ubuntu 20.04

Using npm run dev results in the error:

Invalid configuration object. Webpack has been initialized using a configuration object that does not match the API schema. configuration.module.rules[10] has an unknown property 'loaders'

Jetstream Version: 1.6
Jetstream Stack: Livewire
Laravel Version: 8.14
PHP Version: 7.3.0
Database Driver & Version: MySQL v8.0

Steps to reproduce:

Navigate to directory hosting Laravel 8 project
Run command rm -rf node_modules and wait for the command to complete
Run command rm package-lock.json
Run command npm cache clear --force
Run command sudo npm install --global npm - this updates NPM (Node Package Manager)
Run command sudo yarnpkg install
Run command sudo yarnpkg add babel@latest
Run command sudo yarnpkg add webpack@latest
Run command sudo yarnpkg add webpack-cli@latest
Run command sudo yarnpkg add vue-template-compiler --save-dev --production=false
Run command sudo yarnpkg add sass-loader@8.* sass --save-dev --production=false
Run command sudo npm install --global cross-env
Run command yarnpkg run dev

NPM is supposed to return a success message, but clearly something is either broken or misconfigured...

Solution

Problem has been solved through either an NPM or Yarn update
