Describe the bug

In 5.0 with a TS vite.config.ts, I get error Unsafe call of a(n) error type typed value @typescript-eslint/no-unsafe-call that didn't appear in 4.4.1. This is on the react() line in the config.

Reproduction

Steps to reproduce

Have a vite.config.ts with the standard react() setup and @typescript-eslint/eslint-plugin installed for eslint.

The repo url demos it with eslint command.

This is because the package is ESM only now.
The issue is that tsconfig.node.json set moduleResolution to Node, which stands for node10 which support only CJS so the type resolution fails. Because the project is in ESM ("type": "module" in package.json), the correct setting for moduleResolution is bundler, but nodeNext also works.
Here is the current version for the node tsconfig: https://github.com/vitejs/vite/blob/main/packages/create-vite/template-react-ts/tsconfig.node.json
