Update or drop serialize-error dependency
Since a while, we are not updating major versions of serialize-error
anymore - #24 (closed).
We are using Snyk to monitor possible security issues - #28 (closed) - but we could also switch to renovate to do this - #77 (closed).
If we really can't update it to the latest version, it would be best to drop this problematic dependency and look for an alternative.
In !212 (merged) we were able to remove one the last two use cases. We should either update the library, or remove even the last use case.
