canvas is using APIs which are not supported as part of the Node-API: https://nodejs.org/api/n-api.html#implications-of-abi-stability

It looks like they have migrated to use node_api (Automattic/node-canvas@ce29f69) but have not released these changes to npm yet. I'd recommend asking them about when they will release these changes.

Thanks for the update, I will ask there.

Closing as this is an upstream issue.
