[Tech Debt] Fix ESLint problems with @typescript-eslint/ban-types

[glenflorendo]

User Story

As a developer, I want to adhere to our linting rules, so that I can ensure I am writing clean, correct code and following best practices.

Description

ESLint is a popular tool that is used to analyze code and find problems based on our configured rules, which includes several nice recommendations.

This ticket focuses on the @typescript-eslint/ban-types.

You will need to understand this rule and go through the code to resolve any problems.

To see all violations for all rules, run the following command:

pnpm ci:lint

This rule should be removed from our configuration to allow the default settings to come into affect. It was merely added as an override to not block development.

Additional Context

This work is being done now in part to Ci/CD efforts. We want to enable linting in our pipeline, however, it will always fail since we currently have errors.

Acceptance Criteria

1. Running the linter will not find any violations with this rule.
2. This rule is removed from our configuration.
