Hello @nbelyh,
Thank you for bringing this issue to our attention. We will look into it and get back to you shortly.

@nbelyh,
Thank you for raising this question.
We will reach out to the engineering team for more clarity on the plans regarding the update to Node.js 20 in relation to SharePoint Framework support. We will follow up once we have more details.

@Ashlesha-MSFT Please consider upgrading typescript and react version as well..

Just to follow up on this. SPFx 1.21 beta 2 is now out with the Node.js 22 version support - see release note at https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sharepoint/dev/spfx/release-1.21

We will be skipping Node.js 20 completely and starting from 1.21 only version 22 is supported to align on the supportability of Node.js. ETA on the general availability of 1.21 is on the week of 21s of April.

We have shared in status and progress in the bi-weekly Thursday community call (yesterday's recording at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JxmmqVDrhGM). TypeScript 5 support might still be included in the 1.21. React update will be included in the 1.22 release later this year. SPFx and 3P support on React is unfortunately dependent on the React version which is used by 1P (out of the box web parts) so the update is dependent on the 1P updates.

I have tested with the beta 2, works fine with me 👍
