Description

Can't even run develop on a brand new project immediately after gatsby new

Reproduction Link

https://github.com/gatsbyjs/gatsby

Steps to Reproduce

1. Fresh install of Gatsby 5.14
2. gatsby new (right away we get ERROR: UNKNOWN and then a punycode deprecation warning
3. Gatsby continues despite the error, so select TypeScript, no CMS, Tailwind CSS, responsive images
4. installation from there gives no errors, great!
5. cd into path and gatsby develop

errors galore

and terminates with not finished source and transform nodes - 0.058s

Expected Result

I expect that gatsby develop doesn't error out immediately after gatsby new && cd ...

Actual Result

See screenshots.
