NativeScript migrate 6 to 8. "Executing webpack failed with exit code 1." - nativescript

Question

We have an app that is based off the BottomNavigation template and I had it all working in Android. When we tried it on iOS we ran into conflicts with software and dependency versions so updated everything on both systems in order to align things.
Here is what we are using:
NativeScript: 8.1.5
Angular CLI: 13.0.3
Node: 16.13.1
Webpack: 5.0.4
I have run ns migrate. Here is the package.json:

Executing webpack failed with exit code 1.
I came across this post: Nativescript Error: Executing webpack failed with exit code 1
so I tried changing the webpack version to 5.0.0-rc.8 in package.json and got the following similar errors:

Executing webpack failed with exit code 1.
I have tried various things like deleting node_modules, hooks and package-lock.json and reinstalling with npm i. I still get back to these errors.
Any ideas? Been kicking it around for ages now.
Thanks.
========== UPDATE
#RonEvans I will see if I can provide a tripped down version.
I went back to a working app version in NS 6 and re-did the migration more carefully.

Support for Node.js 16.13.2 is not verified. NativeScript CLI might not install or run properly.
No project found at or above 'C:\Users\GerardDaly\apps\fileexpenses' and neither was a --path specified.
It appears the instant you hit Return on tns run android.
It doesn't even get as far as attempting to build it, which is odd.
I have been googling the messages but haven't found anything useful.
Any ideas at all. Thanks.
