JS is optional and not always available. Do you want such a critical
thing like error messages just be an "optional feature"?

Why not start simple with the most typical and most reliable way of
validating the form data on the server and displaying the form it again
with inline error messages if something was wrong?
_After_ that is working properly, you _could_ add some client-side stuff
to pre-validate fields before the form is submitted. This doesn't have
to be done with "AJAX" - plain JS is enough in many cases.
