The takeaways using inherit npm: 1. Does not support 'scoped packages'
2. fetching is not multi-threaded. A NPM based recipe will run uni-proc with a considerable amount of overhead; each package is pulled and cached independently. Whereas "npm install" or "npm ci" runs multi-threaded. For my use case I used base.bbclass, and implemented it all manually. The downside with this approach is there is no long term support via DL_DIR.
