If it helps, it's absolutely not a solve but if you're just trying to get a project stood up to do some exploratory work (my case right now), you can grab the full npm install instruction from the NPM logs (as the package.json is empty to begin with). In my case, the command was:

npm install @feathersjs/mongodb@^5.0.9 mongodb@^6.1.0 @feathersjs/feathers@^5.0.9 @feathersjs/errors@^5.0.9 @feathersjs/schema@^5.0.9 @feathersjs/configuration@^5.0.9 @feathersjs/transport-commons@^5.0.9 @feathersjs/adapter-commons@^5.0.9 @feathersjs/authentication@^5.0.9 @feathersjs/authentication-client@^5.0.9 winston@latest @feathersjs/socketio@^5.0.9 @feathersjs/koa@^5.0.9 @feathersjs/typebox@^5.0.9

Then you can add --legacy-peer-deps or --force, pick your poison.
