The onboard 5V regulator is very limited in the amount of current that it can supply if fed with 12V through the power jack or Vin. Best is to power the Arduino through a 12V to 5V buck converter connected to the 5V pin. That will bypass the weak onboard 5V regulator.
Thanks everyone for the very useful replies!
