That's interesting! I haven't got any experience with implementing COinS, but I would think that embedded microdata or RDFa is as easy to implement and has a wider reach (i.e. search engines pick it up too). Have you considered microdata or RDFa?

We're going to be adding COinS to our discovery search engine because it's
custom and Zotero doesn't pickup our records automatically. COinS was the
most cost-effective option in terms of developer time and long-term
maintenance.
Notably, there didn't appear to be translator for json encoded metadata
like ld-json csl-json that would discover records embedded in script tags.
