Require can be now used in the oldest supported LTS version so there should be nothing stopping from an esm migration

ESM is slower, less instrumentable, and has less features than CJS, so it's still not an obvious benefit. (also i think you meant node-semver, not the semver spec - ie, wrong repo)
