TypeScript compile errors after adding the library

[m3co-code]

Hi and thank you for the lib! ⭐

I'm currently struggling to get it up and running in a NodeJS application developed with TypeScript. After just having done a yarn add @kafkajs/confluent-schema-registry (^3.3.0 in my package.json) I get a lot of TypeScript compile errors. Do you have some advice how I can mitigate those or do you have some recommendation with which settings TypeScript needs to be configured to make it work? Or is there a minimal NodeJS version required? We're currently running node v16.14.2.

Our current tsconfig.json looks like this:

{
  "compilerOptions": {
    "target": "es6",
    "module": "commonjs",
    "lib": ["es6"],
    "declaration": true,
    "outDir": "lib",
    "rootDir": "src",
    "strict": true,
    "noImplicitAny": true,
    "strictPropertyInitialization": false,
    "noUnusedLocals": true,
    "types": ["jest", "node"],
    "esModuleInterop": true,
    "experimentalDecorators": true,
    "emitDecoratorMetadata": true,
    "resolveJsonModule": true
  },
  "include": ["src/**/*"]
}

TypeScript compile errors I'm getting:

Any help would be highly appreciated!

I got it to compile for now if I add skipLibCheck to my tsconfig. But seems to be a quite unclean solution. So keeping the issue open.
