Switch to ESM only for v10?

See original GitHub issue

The current build setup is complicated (and slow).

Pros:

Simpler builds
Faster builds with esbuild
Tree shaking?

Cons:

Different import script in browsers
Loses support for legacy browsers? (@knsv This might be an issue with using module: ES2022 in lazy load also)
Downstream projects might have to handle small migration. But not sure if anything will be broken as require has already been broken due to D3 dependency as @aloisklink mentioned here
