Description

"Babel 7.8.0 supports the new ECMAScript 2020 features by default: you don't need to enable individual plugins for nullish coalescing (??), optional chaining (?.) and dynamic import() anymore with preset-env." - https://babeljs.io/blog/2020/01/11/7.8.0

We should update zero to latest babel and add an integration test for these features. I think the right change will be here.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Inspect the commonDependencies.js file to add Babel 7.8.0 as a dependency and update any related configuration. Then, add an integration test in the test directory to verify that nullish coalescing, optional chaining, and dynamic import work with the new Babel version.
