Downgrade engine checks to Node v16.10+ (Node v16.11+ has a memory leak with jest)

[jcao02]

Environment

• Operating System: Darwin
• Node Version: v16.15.0
• Nuxt Version: 2.15.8
• Nitro Version: -
• Package Manager: pnpm@7.12.1
• Builder: webpack
• User Config: -
• Runtime Modules: -
• Build Modules: -

Reproduction

• Use Node v16.10.x
• Install @nuxtjs/tailwindcss@5.3.3 and webpack@4.46.0

Describe the bug

In the package @nuxt/kit, the latest RC (rc.11) has an engine check for ^16.11.x (see here). This is a problem because Jest has a known memory leak from Node v16.11.x.

This poses a problem to organisations that use Nuxt + Jest at scale, where CI instances run out of memory (or they become very expensive to support the vertical scaling).

I'm not sure why 16.11 vs 16.10 was chosen. Tests seem to pass fine within the monorepo on 16.10, but @pi0 may have more context on this.

For context, see Node v16.11 changelog
