Apache Arrow v6.0 does not compile with TypeScript v4.5 when Apache Arrow's types are checked (e.g., `"skipLibCheck": false`)

When I import `import { Table } from '@apache-arrow/ts';`, I am getting several errors like the following:

• node_modules/apache-arrow/util/buffer.d.ts:10:328 - error TS2304: Cannot find name 'ReadableStreamReadResult'.
• node_modules/apache-arrow/Arrow.d.ts:86:540 - error TS2304: Cannot find name 'ReadableStreamReadDoneResult'
• node_modules/apache-arrow/recordbatch.d.ts:24:22 - error TS2415: Class 'RecordBatch<T>' incorrectly extends base class 'StructVector<T>'.
• node_modules/apache-arrow/io/interfaces.d.ts:61:18 - error TS2304: Cannot find name 'PipeOptions'.
• ...

I've created a repo that reproduces the errors: https://github.com/flekschas/apache-arrow-typescript

Are those error expected/known or does apache-arrow require a special TypeScript config?
