The script has a javascript interpreter allocated sitting there eating up ram for no reason... so to scale better its wise to exit the script and do your conference.

Lua is lighter weight but still having the interpreter hang around when not needed isn't wise.

Why is initiating a conference from a dial plan entry better than
directly from an internal script?  Is there a page that details what
is and isn't script abuse?

You should rule out the network problems first, which sound more likely.

you can reduce the overuse of JS if you transfer the call to a regular
extension with a dynamic regex.

session.execute("transfer", "conf-xyz");

then make a regex in your xml dialplan to pick up ^conf-(.*) and execute
conference $1
