I don’t think Javascript is really a problem. If you serve your Javascript files from your own site then should be ok, assuming you have tested your code in different browsers and versions.

Problems with Javascript is that most websites link to Javascript on other websites, google, alexa, snap, twitter etc. If the order of inclusion is incorrect or some scripts are missing you end up having a run-time error.
Other silly thing some site operators do is enable Javascript in comments.

Normally, any decent site should downgrade gracefully to a mobile version or version that supports older browsers.
