I ended up getting one of these, and plugged it into a Mikrotik POE
dongle. Able to crank the voltage up to account for the loss. So far
it seems to be working. And looks a lot better (And safer) at the
customer than something with screw terminals.

Get a meanwell whatever, crank it up to 28v, and cut the ac brick off
one of the hundreds of old moto canopy poe injectors i'm sure you have
laying around like all of us.

I haven't tested it, but I'd guess they can handle a little above
30v - not much though. They definitely will not work on 48v... I
have unintentionally tested that a few times.
But yeah, if you're getting that much drop on the stock 30v power
supply, you probably need a higher amperage power supply...
Ideally something adjustable that you can go a bit higher than 30v
with to compensate for the voltage drop.

I know that the Spec sheet says 14-30V POE, but can they
handle more?
Can they really take a 48v or 54v supply now?
