You may find that it works just fine, or you may not.

Upgrading ESlint to v9 and also migrating from previous airbnb-eslint configurations (which seem to no longer be maintained) is going to be an issue in the future
base last updated 4 years ago - https://www.npmjs.com/package/eslint-config-airbnb-base airbnb-typescript-adaption repo has been archived, will not support eslint@9 going forward https://github.com/iamturns/eslint-config-airbnb-typescript
