Google claims to be able to crawl client-rendered stuff, but people are still sort of skeptical about this as far as I know. And in terms of specific meta info like JSON-LD, I'd be especially uncertain.

If you can do any experiments to confirm whether it can, let me know!

When I switched it back, and starting sending static JSON-LD from the server itself, it works the same way like it used to.

During my hunt, I found this
