The iron bar hitbox has changed, which is intentional, but now it is possible to shoot the ender crystals without breaking any iron bars. This makes the dragon fight a bit easier since you could just shoot the "protected" ender crystals.

Well, I believe if you were above them, you would also be able to shoot through the iron bars. Or if you fired an arrow precisely that it came down at such an angle to phase through the bars from the top.
One such solution would be to either:
a. expand the pillars so that they are square.
b. Move the corner of the iron bars in so that they adhere to the shape of the pillar.
People use this "bug" all the time.
Can confirm here, you can pretty much destroy the crystals if you aim the lower corners of the cages, without the need to climb up there.
