CSS in JS seems like just another iteration of how to complicate software development. There are also performance issues and compilation issues. My school of thought is "If it's not broke, don't fix it". CSS is a unique language in and of itself. It has expanded a lot in recent years first with animations and now with vars, additional features to forms, cool pseudo selectors and functions like mathematical calculations on vals. I honestly don't think there is a need to change how I program unless the library or framework I'm using is better served by using CSS in js, such as React (which is built for this).
