Missing dependency on drizzle-orm in drizzle-kit?

I'm using NPM workspaces, and for some reason when I installed drizzle-orm it was placed in the node-modules of that specific workspace, rather than the root. I think it was due to a conflict of the react peer dependency (why is an ORM even depending on React?) - I have an older verison of React already installed and located in the root node_modules. Anyway, when I installed drizzle-kit as a dev dependency, it installed it in the root node_modules. Then when I run drizzle-kit generate:pg , it fails to resolve drizzle-orm/pg-core - probably related to the fact that that module is located in a workspace-local node_modules, but not sure. This is the rough structure that I ended up with after running npm install drizzle-orm --workspace my-workspace and npm install --save-dev drizzle-kit --workspace my-workspace: 
/node_modules
  /drizzle-kit
/workspaces
  /my-workspace
    /node_modules
      /drizzle-orm
/node_modules
  /drizzle-kit
/workspaces
  /my-workspace
    /node_modules
      /drizzle-orm
And again, running npm exec --workspace my-workspace -- drizzle-kit generate:pg (or through an NPM script in /workspaces/my-workspace/package.json) results in a module resolution error: 
npm run drizzle:generate -w my-workspace

Has anyone stumbled into this? Any suggestions on

I did find this issue in drizzle-kit and it is related but doesn't directly mention NPM workspaces: https://github.com/drizzle-team/drizzle-kit-mirror/issues/52
