Can confirm for 1.16 Pre-8 and rc1. In the 1.14 release trailer it shows the player shooting fireworks and the firework isn't rendered. They wouldn't show a bug on the release trailer so MC-137553 is intended. However this ticket most likely isn't. Please reopen this ticket.
New ticket for MC 1.17+ : MC-226777
As per MC-137553, this might be WAI. However, it doesn't make sense to be able to shoot with the crossbow if you can't see it on the screen.
