Cordova stopped building after the 23rd April 2020 Firebase update

Question

I have a large Ionic 4 Cordova project that was working fine and all, no new plugins installed in the past 3+ months.

It seems to happen almost every time Google decides to update Firebase that breaking changes occur and everything is messed up (at least twice a year).

This just happened, one moment I was building the project and after 5 minutes, I did another build with nothing changed other than some Typescript code and everything was broken (see part of the output below). When I looked at the build output, it seems clear that it's another Firebase issue out of nowhere (April 23rd update), but this one seems to break a lot of things, not just Firebase plugin (such as D8: Type libcore.io.Memory was not found).

What can be done about this? It no longer works with or without Firebase plugin. I've tried reinstalling platform and plugins, removing Firebase plugin (then it builds with warnings but crashes when running on Android device).

Here is the cordova build output:
