Comment (by sabernhardt):

 The automated paragraph bug with scripts in Classic Editor is very old:
 #2833.

 In the block editor, `script` tags in a paragraph block would behave
 similarly. However, content within a ''Custom HTML'' block should not get
 the inappropriate tags. Creating that block is easier in Visual mode, but
 in Code view you could wrap scripts in the `wp:html` block comments:

 {{{
 <!-- wp:html -->
 <script>
 console.log('this');
 </script>
 <!-- /wp:html -->
 }}}
