There's no need to use plugins here. You could try running multiple nodemon instances like below. Try modifying the following script for your use case, and see if it works for you:

"scripts": {
    "start": "nodemon --ignore './public/' ./bin/www & nodemon --ignore './public/' --exec 'yarn webpack'",
    "webpack": "webpack --config frontend/webpack.config.js"
}
