Optional Chaining - Function.prototype.apply was called on undefined, which is an undefined and not a function

Using optional chaining with function calls causes the expression to automatically return undefined instead of throwing an exception if the method isn't found.

Note: The code is using spread syntax, not rest parameters.

const fn1 = undefined
const args = []
const fn2 = () => {}
const fn3 = () => {}

console.log(fn1?.(...args, fn2, fn3))

Error:

console.log(fn1?.(...args, fn2, fn3))
                                ^

There are a couple rules to follow with ...rest arguments.

One of those rules is that the ...rest argument can only be the last argument.

foo(...one, ...wrong, ...wrong)
foo(...wrong, bad, bad)
foo(ok, ok, ...correct)

See:

It turns out to be a V8 bug, I've submitted it there, hopefully, it'll be fixed soon.

Update: it has been fixed.
