Update deprecated stack for React app?

Question

npm

A couple of years ago, for one of the projects, a stack was built for a React application. At the moment, it is partially obsolete, some packages are no longer used and not supported (for example, extract-text-webpack-plugin), and some have been replaced by others (for example, instead of babel-preset-es2015, now babel-preset-env).
My stack also affects config files (.babelrc, webpack.config.js, .eslintrc).

When building the project, there are many warnings that some packages are outdated and not supported. And the React version itself is no longer fresh.
When building a stack from scratch now, there are a lot of bugs and compatibility issues.

Is it possible to somehow update this stack as painlessly and quickly as possible? Or what actions will be optimal now in order to work on a new project with the same stack (updated) in the near future?
