Repro Code

ESLint Config

module.exports={parser:"@typescript-eslint/parser",rules:{"@typescript-eslint/no-invalid-void-type":"error"},};

tsconfig

{"compilerOptions": {// ...  }}

Expected Result

I expected all of these to be considered valid uses ofvoid

Actual Result

Only the last two uses are considered valid.

Additional Info

Maybe I'm missing something but I've read the docs a couple of times and the issues, and I can't find anything explaining why this general use ofvoid is being flagged - or inversely, anything confirming that there is more logic than just "is this a generic?".

Importantly thelogAndReturn is taken from the documentation itself for showcasing

The following patterns are considered warnings with { allowInGenericTypeArguments: false }:

Which implies to me those patterns shouldnot be considered warnings ifallowInGenericTypeArguments is true. This seems to be happening from v5 onwards.
