Ok, after some research I figured that there is a file lib/schemas/config.js which contains Possible names for Highcharts scripts.
I assume adding 'series-on-point' to the module list should solve the issue.

Is there a reason why this module is not in the default list?

Update: this is a very dirty hack. I hope there is a more elegant solution to this.

This is my workaround. Edit config.js from a dockerfile. The code replaces flowmap to flowmap','series-on-point

FROM node:lts-alpine
ENV NODE_ENV=production
ENV HIGHCHARTS_VERSION=11.4.3

      yarn \
      git
