I've added an npm helper in theme repo - npm run build-plugins this builds all our custom block plugins without needing to go in to each file.

I tried to update any vulnerabilities in the packages in the plugins, but we are restricted by 1) node version of lando/build script (I recommend updating us to 18 or ideally 20) 2) the create-guten-block script which is no longer maintained and 3) @wp-scripts using packages that we cannot use because of node restriction.
