Type errors when upgrading to 23.7.6 while using react-i18next

[frontendphil]

🐛 Bug Report

With the upgrade to 23.7.6 we started seeing type-errors that have not been there before. Namely, that the default i18n type is not compatible to what react-i18next wants. I'm unsure whether this is a react-i18next or i18next bug. I'll start here, because it appeared with a i18next update and not a react-i18next update 🤷🏻

To Reproduce

A minimal reproducible example.
You need to run the repl to get the proper type-error output

import {createInstance} from 'i18next'
import type {i18n} from 'i18next'
import 'react-i18next'

export const createClientInstance = async (): Promise<i18n> => createInstance()

You probably also use moduleResolution: bundler, right? like here?
if so, try to cast it (createInstance() as I18N)

[frontendphil]

Correct. Because we're also using remix and remix-utils. I've added a @ts-expect-error to the return, which makes the function not complain about the return value. That "solves" it for me. Maybe the types get sorted in the future :)

should be better with newer react-i18next versions
