electron webpack Uncaught ReferenceError: require is not defined "querystring"

I'm trying to run an old electron app, but I can't figure out which node version to use, nor which part of the config/dependencies to update.

I added electron webPreferences in the windows, but it didn't help.

    webPreferences: {
      nodeIntegration: true,
      nodeIntegrationInWorker: true,
      contextIsolation: false,
      enableRemoteModule: true,
    },

Does someone have any idea of what to check first ? Should I try to fix warnings in the current state of the app or should I update dependencies and then fix major breaks ?

Node

$ nvm list

    16.10.0
    14.21.3
    14.17.0
    12.4.0
  * 10.15.3 (Currently using 64-bit executable)
    10.8.0
    10.3.0
    9.11.2
    8.9.4

Edit:

I used node 10.15.3 because that's the version chatgpt recommended me based on the dependency lists.. and the readme indicates to use node > 8. But I have no clue of which to use, nor which dependency to update in priority. Should I start with electron, then webpack & typescript ? or maybe the dependency with warnings like fluent-ffmpeg, chokidar & fsevents ?

Also is there any centralized reference for javascript dependency compatibility ? or any tool that would help me identify conflicts & resolve them ?
