Nx: Do you have any plan to upgrade fork-ts-checker-webpack-plugin to v5

[tieppt]

Description

https://github.com/TypeStrong/fork-ts-checker-webpack-plugin

For now, we're using version 3.1.1 of this plugin. It does not report type checking result (error) to devServer. But if I upgrade to v5 with custom WebPack config, it can work as expected.

I raise the question. I spent a lot of time to debug why each of my NestJS microservices consumes 3GB of RAM during development. Each has 6 workers with 2GB memory limit. As I checked fast in newer versions of the fork-ts-checker-webpack-plugin they reduced workers number by default and improved the performance of the single worker.

Webpack 5 is not working well with [email protected] and is crashing builds. Folks from fork-ts-checker-webpack-plugin have fixed this in v6.
Since nrwl is still using the old version of fork-ts-checker-webpack-plugin, my team is unable to update our project to webpack 5.

@vsavkin @jaysoo @bcabanes @nrwl Any plans to update this dep?
