Rails 6.1 with Webpacker fails with jQuery 3.6.1

Question

I'm trying to update our jQuery from 3.6.0 to 3.6.1 within our application using Rails 6.1 with Webpack. We cannot seem to get jQuery loaded after the update. Eg $.fn or $.get is undefined.

Here's our configuration

# config/webpack/environment.js

const { environment } = require('@rails/webpacker')
const erb =  require('./loaders/erb')
const webpack = require('webpack');

environment.loaders.prepend('erb', erb)
environment.plugins.append('Provide', new webpack.ProvidePlugin({
    $: 'jquery',
    jQuery: 'jquery',
    'window.jQuery': 'jquery'
}));
module.exports = environment;

# app/javascript/packs/application.js

import 'core-js/stable'
import 'regenerator-runtime/runtime'
import jQuery from 'jquery'
global.$ = global.jQuery = jQuery

I've tried several things following the documentation on the NPM page but that didn't work yet.

I also created a very basic webpage loading jQuery with the script tag which worked fine.
