Do we need to change the Gulpfile at all? It's been a minute but I assume that's where those packages were being used?

I'm away or I would grep for them myself

I checked conflicts and I'm pretty sure the entire babel library is used just for a file called "webpack.config.babel.loader.js" to load the _scripts folder and it only needed babel loader which requires the entire babel library so I believe if a solution is found to load scripts without needing the babel library then we could remove babel

Finally got time to actually run this. Gulp works good and I can run the dev server 👍
