Babel error: Unknown option: .config when trying to upgrade dependencies of Inferno app - node.js

Question

I have an app which is created with Create Inferno App. I ejected at some point to customize build configs. Now I am trying to upgrade dependencies to the latest versions and replace deprecated dependencies. When trying to build my app. I get this error:
yarn run v1.22.19
$ INLINE_RUNTIME_CHUNK=false node scripts/devbuild.js
Creating a development build...
Failed to compile.
Error: [BABEL] /home/farooqkz/playground/chooj/src/index.js: Unknown option: .config. Check out https://babeljs.io/docs/en/babel-core/#options for more information about options.
