why you don't try to use a JSON or CSV file, as you can import those files easily inside your project and at the same time you can still update them outside AE

Format the data properly as CSV/ TSV/ XML and use the data driven animation options.

With a quick test, it appears that the $.evalFile() hack hasn't worked since CC 2018. Have you used it successfully with a newer version?
