Just don't use any NPM libraries (if possible) and you'll be fine. I personally wouldn't use typescript for this sort of thing.

Why not? You can have bun or even node these days run it directly.

    I've been using node for a decade now and I've had to update NPM libraries a number of times as Node itself upgraded. I have a feeling it will get a lot more stable with ESM and the maturity of the language but if you're writing something you need to run 5-10yrs from now I wouldn't touch a library unless it's simple and has few of it's own dependencies.

      Deno has used ESM from the beginning and it’s required on jsr.io. I agree about avoiding dependencies, but maybe it’s okay if they’re locked to a specific version.
