Indeed! Thanks. I will look into this.
In the meantime, would you be able to use yarn in the meantime?

Sure. I have local repo with yarn with same issue. Let me push it for you.

It seems like it an issue on hardhat versioning side. The hardhat boilerplate now references @nomicfoundation/hardhat-ethers since 3.0.0 while previous version references @nomiclabs/hardhat-ethers (the name of the org changed). Also up to 3.0.0+ it requires ethers 6 but here ethers 5 is added as a dev dep to the project.

It seems yarn lockfile is able to solve this but that got ignored by npm
