Use Node 18 with Strapi 4.x.x

@zain.makro,
I updated to nodejs 18.17.1 and npm 9.8.1 and got the same error.

I also checked and saw that there is no validate declaration in node_modules@strapi\utils\dist\index.js file. But the validate declaration is presented in source code https://github.com/strapi/strapi/blob/main/packages/core/utils/src/index.ts.

It means there is problem with build and deploy package @strapi/utils to npm registry, right?
