Your session info says "stargazer 5.2.2".  What version do
you have now?  CRAN has 5.2.3. It seems likely to me that

  i) with R 4.3-0, certain warnings in the package have
     become errors (the NEWS file for R 4.3-0,
     https://cloud.r-project.org/doc/manuals/r-release/NEWS.html ,
     has a prominent first item about using && and errors.)

and

 ii) the package maintainer fixed those warnings/errors in 5.2.3.

kind regards
    Enrico
