### Describe the bug

I'm attempting to run through a tutorial, so I start a new project with 
 - `npx create-react-app --template typescript` 
 - wait on install
 - set workspace typescript version (read [solution](https://github.com/facebook/create-react-app/issues/10144#issuecomment-733278351) in pinned issue) 
 - Code shows no errors, I haven't changed anything from the template yet
 - `npm start`
 - wait for build
 - app crashes with error

Error looks like: 
```
/Users/**/**/Learn/React/testing-hooks/node_modules/watchpack/lib/chokidar.js:17
throw new Error(
^

Error: No version of chokidar is available. Tried chokidar@2 and chokidar@3.
You could try to manually install any chokidar version.

### Did you try recovering your dependencies?

<!--
  Your module tree might be corrupted, and that might be causing the issues.
  Let's try to recover it. First, delete these files and folders in your project:

    * node_modules
    * package-lock.json
    * yarn.lock

  Then you need to decide which package manager you prefer to use.
  We support both npm (https://npmjs.com) and yarn (http://yarnpkg.com/).
  However, **they can't be used together in one project** so you need to pick one.

  If you decided to use npm, run this in your project directory:

    npm install -g npm@latest
    npm install

  This should fix your project.

  If you decided to use yarn, update it first (https://yarnpkg.com/en/docs/install).
  Then run in your project directory:

    yarn

  This should fix your project.

  Importantly, **if you decided to use yarn, you should never run `npm install` in the project**.
  For example, yarn users should run `yarn add <library>` instead of `npm install <library>`.
  Otherwise your project will break again.

  Have you done all these steps and still see the issue?
  Please paste the output of `npm --version` and/or `yarn --version` to confirm.

npm version: 6.14.9

Also, when removing and re-installing I got a lot of deprecation warnings, been a while since I spun up a fresh project so not sure if that's normal

### Environment

<!--
  To help identify if a problem is specific to a platform, browser, or module version, information about your environment is required.
  This enables the maintainers quickly reproduce the issue and give feedback.

  Run the following command in your React app's folder in terminal.
  Note: The result is copied to your clipboard directly.

  `npx create-react-app --info`

  Paste the output of the command in the section below.

### Steps to reproduce

<!--
  How would you describe your issue to someone who doesn’t know you or your project?
  Try to write a sequence of steps that anybody can repeat to see the issue.
-->

(Write your steps here:)
Same as description, this is a fresh install
1. `npx create-react-app --template typescript .`
2. `npm start`
3.

### Expected behavior

<!--
  How did you expect the tool to behave?
  It’s fine if you’re not sure your understanding is correct.
  Just write down what you thought would happen.
-->

Template app starts

### Actual behavior

<!--
  Did something go wrong?
  Is something broken, or not behaving as you expected?
  Please attach screenshots if possible! They are extremely helpful for diagnosing issues.
-->

Crash with error text from above.

### Reproducible demo

<!--
  If you can, please share a project that reproduces the issue.
  This is the single most effective way to get an issue fixed soon.

  There are two ways to do it:

    * Create a new app and try to reproduce the issue in it.
      This is useful if you roughly know where the problem is, or can’t share the real code.

    * Or, copy your app and remove things until you’re left with the minimal reproducible demo.
      This is useful for finding the root cause. You may then optionally create a new project.

  This is a good guide to creating bug demos: https://stackoverflow.com/help/mcve
  Once you’re done, push the project to GitHub and paste the link to it below:
-->

Haven't changed a single thing from the template install, no real purpose in creating a repo.

<!--
  What happens if you skip this step?

  We will try to help you, but in many cases it is impossible because crucial
  information is missing. In that case we'll tag an issue as having a low priority,
  and eventually close it if there is no clear direction.

  We still appreciate the report though, as eventually somebody else might
  create a reproducible example for it.

  Thanks for helping us help you!
