Blending does not work with Nether, the old and new chunks create rough edges.
It also affects The End, but it's not obvious.

This is not exclusive to 1.18: see MC-185253.

But the old and new chunks transition should be smoother at 1.18.
Source:
The transition between new and old terrain is less “cliffy”
Will surface height blend? Yes
Will biomes blend? Yes
Will caves blend? Your mileage may vary
I can confirm this behavior.
