In 1.18.0.20 I ran into a couple of ore Veins that had way too little iron ore mixed in with the tuff and a whole lot of Tuff.
What I expected to happen: find an Iron Vein and dig it out to find a lot of iron along with a lot of Tuff like I did a couple of Beta's back.
What actually happened: I dug down into a cave system that had a vein of almost pure tuff that is supposed to have iron ore and iron ore blocks mixed in. While it had a very small amount of iron ore it didn't have as much as I expected and it was a huge vein of Tuff that I was mining.
Steps to recreate:
1. create a world in the 1.18.0.20 Beta.
2. Mine down and find a iron vein.
3. Dig out the vein to see that there's not much iron ore where it is supposed to be.
I know that the generation of the world and ores was changed to match Java recently and that may have introduced this bug.
I did a search on this but didn't find any reports before I made this report.

Are you sure you got a vein in there? They are pretty rare and usually they don't have a whole lot of tuff around them. Tuff often exists as splotches in the deepslate layer and can have many ore types inside, I think you could've found just a splotch of tuff with iron inside.
Just checked that on the latest beta, they are hard to find, but I eventually found it.
I attached a screenshot of what I've found after 10 minutes, and what the vein should look like.
