Is JavaScript Schema a Shortcut or a Setup for Failure?

I’ve seen a lot of tools lately that use JavaScript to inject schema markup, but honestly, I don’t really trust it.

Sure, it’s fast and easy, but in my experience, search engines and AI engines don’t always pick it up reliably. When schema is built straight into the code; clean, server-side, and part of the actual structure it just performs better in my experience. It’s more consistent, faster to read, and less likely to break.

I know many plugins and AEO tools still rely on JavaScript overlays, but I can’t shake the feeling that it’s more of a shortcut than a real solution.

Curious what others are seeing:

Have you tested schema injected with JavaScript versus schema built into the page? What worked best for you?
