'The V8 platform used by this instance of Node does not support creating Workers

With my current project I run into the following error message when creating a worker:

ERROR Error: The V8 platform used by this instance of Node does not support creating Workers

I found a variety of posts here on SO with comments like these: It was added in nodejs v10.5.0.

Does anyone know whats going on?

Launch Workers from main.js

I had my Workers launching from my renderer.js and then I noticed a comment here (https://www.giters.com/nrkno/sofie-atem-connection/issues/125) that mentioned there's a bug that results in this V8 platform message when Workers are kicked-off outside of main.js.

In my particular case, it's not working fully yet, but I don't get this message any more and I think my outstanding problems are unrelated.
