Migration from @std/esm to esm

Hi,

I'm facing issue while migrating from @std/esm to esm. I saw the post (https://github.com/standard-things/esm/issues/668) but I don't get it.

We're not using .mjs but we need __dirname and import CJS internal modules. @std/esm is deprecated so we're migrated but I cannot find the matching options.

Environment

Windows 10 Pro
Node 12.14.1 & npm 6.13.4
esm v3.2.25

More details

My microservice, importing among others internal modules, is using "type": "module" and is not transpiled through Babel
My npm start script is currently running node -r esm src/api/index.js
I was using "@std/esm": "0.26.0", completed with "@std/esm": "cjs" and npm start script was running node -r @std/esm src/api/index.js and it was working pretty well
The migration was motivated by problems with zeit/pkg to try to fix another issue

Attempts

importing esm but without specific options (using default ones as told in the issue (https://github.com/standard-things/esm/issues/668))

SyntaxError: The requested module '<path/to/project>/node_modules/<internal-module-name>/dist/index.js' does not provide an export named 'default'

while it is

importing esm but with more options

  "esm": {
    "cjs": {
      "cache": true,
      "esModule": true,
      "namedExports": true
    },
    "mode": "auto",
    "debug": true
  },

But still having issue with another previousliy working file

SyntaxError: The requested module '<path/to/project>/node_modules/<another-internal-module-name>/dist/index.js' does not provide an export named 'default'

Any ideas would be appreciate.

P.S.: I already saw other posts like this one, this one and even this one but I don't get the answer P.P.S: your response time is pretty impressive @jdalton , your work too
