What are the current versions of tools that are recommended? Is there a place where it can be looked up?

Per [Getting Started with Daml — Daml SDK 2.4.0 documentation](https://docs.daml.com/getting-started/index.html), the current recommendation is Node 14.

The `create-daml-app` currently doesn’t work as-is with Node 16+. The fix is very minor and easy to apply, but also very non-obvious to find out (setting the env var `NODE_OPTIONS` to `--openssl-legacy-provider` at least for the `npm start` command).
