I dont like the use of a Json "script" inside an HTML page. I understand the flexibility it grants but markup tags is what HTL is based on and the design would be more consistent by using HTML tags as we have had them for decades to also handle this extra meta data.

JSON-LD isn't the only way one can embed these metadata (though I think most tooling prefers it now).

For example, Microdata[0] is one in-line way to do it, and RDFa[1] is another.
