I haven't tested this on any other versions so I cannot say whether it will or will not work but below is the current versions for my own setup that allows dev setup to work without an issue.
node v14.17.0
npm v7.15.1
yarn v1.22.10
Clone this repository https://github.com/damiensedgwick/rescript-parcel.git
Change directory cd rescript-parcel
Install dependancies yarn
or for npm use npm i
Run local server yarn dev
or for npm use npm run dev
If all goes well you should see something similar to the following output
rescript: [1/4] RescriptParcel.cmi
[0] rescript: [2/4] src/App.ast
[0] rescript: [3/4] src/App.d
[0] rescript: [4/4] src/App-RescriptParcel.cmj

You can now visit http://localhost:1234 and should see Hello, World!
being displayed in the browser.
You are now ready to experiment with rescript-react to which I recommend this documentation
