Maps SDK 4.33 viewOnReady is Not a Function

I am trying to make sure the map view is ready when using components before accessing it to zoom to a location, etc.  The official way I found to do this was to use the mapView.viewOnReady method as seen in the release notes for version 4.33 here https://developers.arcgis.com/javascript/latest/4.33/ .

However, it seems like 1/10 of the time I load my web application I get the error that viewOnReady is not a function.  Is there a better official/more robust way to make sure the map view element is loaded before trying to call this viewOnReady method than the below?

const viewElement = document.getElementById("map-component");
await viewElement.viewOnReady();

Is this a CDN app or npm? It's possible maybe in a CDN app that a network issue might add just enough of a delay for map-components code that defines that method to not load in time, but I hadn't seen that before. 

Having components script in the head and user script as last element of the body makes sure this doesn't happen.

I'm using the CDN.  I think my scripts were actually above the components in the head, so I moved them down to the body like you suggested.  After doing some testing, I will comment back with whether this fixed my problem or not.  Thanks for the tip!
