Reverting from Vite back to Webpack

I am starting a new project, and just saw that laravel upgraded to using Vite instead of webpack. I am much more comfortable on webpack and prefer to use it instead. I've tried to install laravel mix manually, but whenever I do it doesn't run properly, I've also tried installing from an old laravel version (9.19.0) but when I try to install it via composer I am told there is no such version. Would appreciate any help on this. Thanks.
