Can be fixed by changing package.json to use latest versions of node-sass and react-scripts (though unsure if that breaks anything as latest is a breaking change relative to currently listed versions--testing required!)

"node-sass": "latest",
"react-scripts": "latest",

plus adding the following at the end for the nested dependencies of glob-parent and nth-check. Same caveat re: breaking potential:

"overrides": {
	   "glob-parent": "latest",
	   "nth-check": "latest"
   }
