So one problem we have with upgrading dependencies is @ethereumjs/common and by extension, @ethereumjs/tx (since it depends on the former)

The problem: In this PR (specifically this commit) the typescript version is bumped from 3.x.x to 4.x.x. After this change, Web3.js starts to get the following tsc error when building web3-eth-accounts:

lerna ERR! npm run compile exited 1 in 'web3-eth-accounts'
lerna ERR! npm run compile stdout:

Currently in 1.x, the version 2.5.0 of @ethereumjs/common is being used (and version 3.3.2 of @ethereumjs/tx) which was released a year ago according to NPM:

PR #5529 updates some dependencies while locking @ethereumjs/common and @ethereumjs/tx to versions 2.5.0 and 3.3.2 respectively, and these errors are no longer received and all tests still pass

PR #5530 accepted to update typescript to ^4.8.4, but received many errors
