I'm having this same issue! A band-aid solution should work for now since this thread looks new, but because it looks like there haven't been any non-documentation changes in over a year, it looks like this problem is the result of the development team having abandoned this project. If you want to continue, here's the full set of commands I used to clean up the errors for a successful run of a new React application.

Just note, this is a temporary solution, in that the create-react-app repo has had nothing but documentation changes since August 2023 (with the last build release being from 2022), so while there has been no official deprecation of this tool, this issue indicates that create-react-app is rotting. The below commands will clean up the current issues with new projects, but expect this tool to continue to show signs of its abandonment.

npx create-react-app my-app

The above generates the same errors we're all observing. The below commands are the cleanup.

cd my-app

npm install --save-dev @testing-library/react@latest

npm install web-vitals

npm start

Upon npm start, it should say it compiled successfully, and the app should run for you without an error popping up.

create-react-app is deprecated. You must use Vite to initialize a project.

I've been playing with different AI generators and they provided Vitae as a faster development process and it didn't throw an error.
npm create vite@latest your-app -- --template react-ts
cd your-app
npm install
npm run dev
