Here's the guide to converting a typescript project to output ESM. You're missing couple of steps.

We are using nestjs project on our side and it's not easy to convert to esm. Ended up making a fork for commonjs support.

is there a step by step instructions for updating a NestJS project? The above documentation is extremely cumbersome to understand what is required and what doesn't for a nestjs project. Thanks in advance.!
