Can I use Expression Templates for Serilog and AOT

I have an ExpressionTemplate that allows for ..dynamicProps as part of a log message. This code is in my Program.cs file.

string jsonTemplate = "{ { timestamp: @t, level: @l, message: @m,"
       + "foobar:Foobar, "
       + "..dynamicProps ,"
       + " @x } }\n";

var loggerConfig = new LoggerConfiguration()
     .MinimumLevel.Debug()
     .WriteTo.Console(new ExpressionTemplate(jsonTemplate))
     .Enrich.FromLogContext();

Log.Logger = loggerConfig.CreateLogger();

Then in my method where I wish to Log, I have this:

CustomLog dynamicProps = new()
{
  item = "SomeItem",
  val = DateTime.Now.Ticks,
};
using (LogContext.PushProperty("dynamicProps", dynamicProps, true))
{
    using (LogContext.PushProperty("Foobar", "some foobar thing"))
    {
        _logger.LogDebug("Starting!");
    }
}

That works fine when I am NOT running with an AOT compiled version:

{"timestamp":"2025-04-23T11:58:09.5282819-06:00","level":"Debug","message":"Starting!","foobar":"some foobar thing","item":"SomeItem","val":638810062895182809}

However, when I publish for AOT, I do not get the properties from my CustomLog

{"timestamp":"2025-04-23T11:58:53.6560097-06:00","level":"Debug","message":"Starting!","foobar":"some foobar thing"}

My CustomLog class looks like this:

[JsonSerializable(typeof(CustomLog),GenerationMode = JsonSourceGenerationMode.Default)]
public class CustomLog {
   [JsonInclude]
   public string item { get; set; }
   [JsonInclude]
   public long val { get; set; }
}

I would like to see my CustomLog properties in my log message, but I can't seem to get that to work. I have tried it without the JsonSerializable attribute with the same results.
I know that Serilog has a few special behaviors that it does not support for AOT because AOT and reflection do not play in the same sandbox. However, is there any way I can get my dynamicProps class to work in a log message (when AOT compiled)?
That would save me a ton of work.
I have several log messages that I need to publish first class json properties to (for my logging visualizer to consume) and I was hoping that the ExpressionTemplate would work - it does unless I use AOT.
Any guidance is greatly appreciated - this is a slim-downed repro of my larger project that contains a dozen or so dynamicProps oriented messages.
