[v5] Failed to meet quorum when importing from `@ethersproject/providers` directly

See original GitHub issue

When trying to use any Provider method, it seems that importing from @ethersproject/providers doesn’t work, wheres importing from ethers works fine. I’d prefer to import from @ethersproject/providers, since I don’t need all of the functionality provided by ethers.

I am able to reproduce the issue with this code:

// This works fine
import { getDefaultProvider } from 'ethers';

const provider = getDefaultProvider();
    provider.getBalance('0x0000000000000000000000000000000000000000')
      .then(console.log)
      .catch(console.error);

// This doesn't work
import { getDefaultProvider } from '@ethersproject/providers';

const provider = getDefaultProvider();
    provider.getBalance('0x0000000000000000000000000000000000000000')
      .then(console.log)
      .catch(console.error);

The second one results in a long error:
