The SchemaOf issue is easily fixable by adding extends NonNullable in SchemaOf but I tried to fix other type issues related to {} and I wasn't able to do it. The issue is coming from https://github.com/sapphiredev/shapeshift/blob/main/src/lib/util-types.ts#L10
before 4.8, it was {} & object but after 4.8, it's now object. The only solution that worked for me was removing extends NonNullableObject from https://github.com/sapphiredev/shapeshift/blob/main/src/validators/ObjectValidator.ts#L15 but that's not a solution as it'll now accept any values.

For now you can add skipLibCheck in your tsconfig or use typescript < 4.8

I have been using skipLibCheck because of this, but its not the best thing to do.
About object, maybe a solution to this would be using Record<PropertyKey, unknown> which can be used to represent any object but might need some changes in other parts of the code.
