NodeJS 18 and Webpack 4

[MartinX3]

NodejS 18 is now the standard LTS version, but the problem exists since NodeJS 17.
By default bridge uses webpack 4, which is very old and not compatible with the new OpenSSL 3.
nuxi generate -> Error: error:0308010C:digital envelope routines::unsupported.

Sadly enabling vite is breaking vuetify 2. You only see text and no gui.

The current option would be to force use nodejs 16.

Is there an alternative?
I don't know if webpack 5 is compatible with nuxt bridge and vuetify 2.

Also using vuetify 3 is too early since components like the calendar are missing.

With NuxtJS 2.16.0 and bridge I can add webpack 5.75.0 as an depedency and dev and generate the project without problems.
But the problem remains the same.
So even webpack 5.75.0 doesn't fix it.
Let's wait for vite. (I can't use it with vuetify 2.6.14 without complicated workarounds)
