Script Preparation code:

var x = {
    foo: []
};
var keys = Array.from({
    length: 5000
}).map((x, i) => i < 2500 ? i : i - 2500);

Tests:

hasOwnProperty membership check
for (const key of keys) { if (!Object.prototype.hasOwnProperty.call(x, key)) { x[key] = []; } }
self-assignment
for (const key of keys) { x[key] = x[key] ?? []; }
in membership check
for (const key of keys) { if (!(key in x)) { x[key] = []; } }
