No strong opinion to not remove it, but most of our tools still use v5 😁

I'm in favor in moving to viem instead of upgrading to v6. Most of the industry is abandoning ethers because a lot of things are so much better in viem, including proper TS typings.

We can still maintain those projects, but probably a good idea to no longer support making new projects with v5?
As for viem, I think it would be a good switch, we can look into setting up a template for that.

@itsacoyote We already have viem templates but they are pretty outdated. They still use v1 viem but there was major update a while ago. Tho shouldn't be many changes for them templates
