The rule change to having 5 guys on each side of the kicker killed the onsite kick. I believe it was less than 10% successful in 2019. So the odds are probably worse to recover an onsides kick than to convert a 4th and 15th. Yes, you lose field position a little by not converting 4th and 15th, but again I think the risk is far greater trying to convert the on side kick.
