Thanks problem resolved!
I'd like to request ownership, the original reporter hasn’t been active since April 2014, I will keep it updated.
Still affects 21w14a - The Barrier and Light inner block visual particles should bypass the particle settings when held, which would then display them even on the Minimal Particles setting & instantly fix this problem.
Can confirm in 1.17.
Can confirm in 1.17.1.

Can confirm this behavior in 21w40a. Here are some extra details regarding this problem.
