chore!: minimum node version v18

[escapedcat]

BREAKING CHANGE: drop node v14 and v16 support

v16 is almost EOL as well: https://github.com/nodejs/release#release-schedule

This will be merged in September 2023.
#3633 can be re-applied after. @joberstein wdyt?

• remove TS v4 support (here and in other places?)

@escapedcat sounds good to me, the only thing I want to call out is with my pull request that I also updated @types/node, but it was to a lesser version than what's bumped up here. Just want to make sure this version bump wins when my pull request changes are re-applied.

Thanks for the heads up. Good point.

@escapedcat is this still ready to merge?

LGTM a couple of questions, also have we checked the docker images build. I think it could be worth a rebase to test that build.

Yeah, will take a look within the next days. Bit busy currently.
