Is it possible to update peerDependencies

[delmohf]

As of npm 8.6.0 I get an error when I install one of my project which use React 18 and this module (react-canvas-stats). The problem is this module peer dependencies:

"peerDependencies": {
    "react": "^16.3.2"
}

I know I can go ahead with my installation using npm i --legacy-peer-deps but I'm wondering if this module could not be updated just like this:

"peerDependencies": {
    "react": ">=16.3.2"
}

Thanks
