I just realized that programmers of production loads can quickly switch to ESM. Just perform a global replace of 'require' using 'import'.

What's actually preventing this from happening is the fact that not all official packages are ESM ready.

So the solution might be actually very easy. Set a deadline for the implementation of ESM and send frequent notifications to developers.

After the deadline all those running production loads will have to switch to ESM syntax when updating. This seems facile and organized.
