I was using a world to practice with a wind burst mace when I noticed that the particles that appear when you use the smash attack (in the attached video, they're grass block particles) didn't always appear when I hit a specific warden. Notes: the wardens have NoAI enabled, and this did not consistently happen. Sometimes the particles were there, sometimes they weren't. This always happened on the 5th warden in line when it did occur, however.
The link to the video is here: https://1drv.ms/u/s!AtbAdFV0CBFBgyayISUyB0tBh4F9?e=Uh5aN5
Steps to reproduce:
Create a world (I used the default superflat preset with 100 layers of dirt)
Create a line of a mob (I used wardens, I'm not sure if it works with other mobs
Give yourself a mace (Mine has the unbreakable tag)
Enchant said mace with density 5 and wind burst 3
Use the smash attacks to go down the line, hitting all the mobs
Expected result:
All of the smash attacks would cause the block particles to be sent out
Result seen:
A certain attack, on occasion, would not send out the particles

I appreciate your confirming it, but as I cannot replicate it as you said, I will opt to delete this report. Thanks for your help!
EDIT: I can't figure out how to delete it, anyone who can delete it please do!
This occurs because the warden mob you're performing a smash attack on is far enough off of the center of the block that it is considered to be above "air" instead of the grass block. Since air is not a valid particle, nothing shows.
Here is a visual demonstration:
Using the first command block, it summons a pig entity as far off the center of the grass block as it can, to the point where it's still technically above it.
In the next example, the pig is summoned at the edge of the command block, this time being just far enough away to be considered above an air block.
I will opt to confirm this report, however it is arguably not a valid issue, unless you can find a way for the particles to not show when the warden is on top of a block directly.
This also closely relates to MC-271320 and MC-270819
