React-dev-utils/webpackHotDevClient breaks when updating

[darthzeran]

#8254

Describe the bug

I updated my package.json like so:

"react": "^16.8.0", =>"^16.13.1",
"react-dom": "^16.8.0", => "^16.13.1",
"react-scripts": "2.1.8", =>"^3.4.1",

and then i ran yarn; yarn dev
and then I got the following error

Error: [BABEL] C:\project\node_modules\react-dev-utils\webpackHotDevClient.js: Cannot find module 'js-levenshtein' (While processing: "C:\\project\\node_modules\\babel-preset-react-app\\dependencies.js$0")   

so i yarn added the levenshtein modeule

then got the following error

Error: [BABEL] C:\project\node_modules\react-dev-utils\webpackHotDevClient.js: Invalid Option: corejs is not a valid top-level option.                                                                            Maybe you meant to use 'targets'? (While processing: "C:\\project\\node_modules\\babel-preset-react-app\\dependencies.js$0") 

I then did about 10 different github/stack overflow suggestions to remedy this error, but to no avail,
including mass yarn upgrades, installing individual packages, etc.
