Update for webpack4, latest cesium, and optionally vue.js?

Hi, this is a great resource along with the doc page https://cesiumjs.org/tutorials/cesium-and-webpack/ (which could be referenced from this repo readme, to be helpful), but it's out of date now.
I've spent the past day chasing my tail trying to get the latest cesium (1.49) to work with webpack 4, and vue.js. The docs and repo here are out of date and don't work, and while there are lots of helpful issues and posts around that hint at how to fix various issues, I've yet to hit on the magic combination that works.
This shouldn't be this difficult!
(but thanks for your great efforts so far)

Start by reading the repository README and comparing it with the linked Cesium and Webpack tutorial. Reproduce the setup with Cesium 1.49 and Webpack 4, then investigate the reported Vue.js combination if relevant. Done means the example and its documentation provide a working, current setup and reference the tutorial.
