Both chokidar and webpack depended on old versions of fsevents, which is used for file watching on macOS. That version of fsevents did not come with pre-build binaries for node 10 which resulted in install issues on my machine. These new versions of chokidar and webpack depend on the latest version of fsevents which has binaries for node 10 pre-built, without losing support for older node versions (even down to 4.x).
Luckily, upgrading from webpack 2.x to 4.x is trivial compared to upgrading from webpack 1.x to 2.x \o/
