Can confirm that guardians try to swim in lava.

Confirmed for 1.14.3

Also occurs in 1.14.2

The guardians never fall thru the lava killing chamber of the farm, but instead most of them end up dying in the lava (only 1 block tall).

Confirmed for server v. 1.14.2. Efficiency of my guardian farm dropped to almost nothing.

Can confirm for 1.14.4 pre-release 2

The guardian farm on our server has plummeted in efficiency, and made it almost redundant.

This bug still in pre-release 1 of 1.15

Squids don't swim in lava so why should Guardians?

Jpedro01 2019-11-23T17:33:28Z

Apparently their AI when it falls into the lava, from the water, they think (Some) that they are still in water and remain floating, possibly due to their movements and their better AI than that of squid

Regarding "if gamepedia is a good source": That's the official wiki, however they just observe the current behavior. They don't know if it's intended behavior or not. If the behavior changes they don't know if it's an intentional change or a bug and will usually assume it was intentional.
