The only problems I've run into are related to certain package repos that went offline. So you have to track down suitable versions of certain packages on other repos.

OTOH with Node I always find myself in dependency hell with dealing with old projects.

In my experience this only happen if the project does not have a lock file and does not specify a node version (two good practice that must be followed).

I'm talking about upgrading dependencies. Something that's rarely easy in a JS/TS project with lots of dependencies.
