Migrating away from Jest/ts-jest to the native test module that got stabilized in Node.js 20 might be worthwhile at some point. (Most of its API is similar to Jest's.)

Jest is only barely maintained https://github.com/jestjs/jest/pull/11529#issuecomment-1027152470 even after ownership got transferred from Meta to the OpenJS Foundation in 2022. (That linked PR took 4 years to get merged.)

Instead of ts-jest, the TypeScript tests would need tsx https://tsx.is/node-enhancement
