Can confirm in 1.17.1. Players drown in water cauldrons in Bedrock Edition (MCPE-105627); as this was fixed in the Nether Update, it could also be considered a valid parity issue. I am mistaken per the comment below.
Confirmed myself in 1.21.3 and 24w46a, and also related, fish suffocate even you do get them inside the cauldron
This is similar to MC-126819 which was resolved as "Won't fix."
