Villagers / farms makes the server stop/lag

Hello.
I have a Realm where my daughter (Xbox one), my other daughter (ipad) and i (win10) play on.

I am quite new to minecraft (like 1 month), but i have encountered a lot of problems..
I watched a lot of tutorials on how to make auto-farms (like chicken, wood, kelp, cacti farm etc.)
And since my daughter (6 yr old) loves the way village's work - we currently live in one which we are expanding.
The problem is on all 3 devices ( win10, Xbox and ipad) it lags A LOT when the villagers are out during the day, we have around 50 villagers and 15 sheeps, but during the day its unplayable, and often all the animals/villagers/farms just stop moving, and the kelp and cacti farms just stop producing even tho we stand just next to it - only fix is that we both leave the realm and rejoin, but then it just happens again if we dont go away from the villagers.
Ive read that you can install mods to fix the pathfinding of villagers which apparently causes ALOT of lags, but for Realms - you cant install mods.
So now im kinda stuck, i bought Realms and Minecraft for all 3 devices but its not really playable with all those lags and bugs, unless we want to quit and rejoin every 10 mins, or move away from what we kinda are in this game for?
It does not mater if i put all settings to off/low - it also happens on the other devices, so im not in doubt that its the game itself.
Im using a 32gb, i7, 6gb GPU pc - my pc runs Battlefield 5 on ultra.....
So please, how do i fix this without killing any villagers?
I can see that this started around update 1.14, and everyone are having problems with it. (Google gave me like 300k hits >,<)

Thank you for your report!
We're tracking this issue in REALMS-4642, so this ticket is being resolved and linked as a duplicate.

If you would like to add a vote and any extra information to the main ticket it would be appreciated.

Unfortunately there's probably nothing you can do to fix it immediately and you will have to wait for a game update. Some beta players are reporting that the performance is better in the next version, but you can't use that on a realm, and there's no guarantee that it will help with your particular issue anyway. One approach you might take is to work in a different area away from all of the villagers and farms for awhile. As long as those chunks aren't loaded (all players 96+ or so blocks away) the areas won't be in the simulation distance. That will stop your farms from working though.

If you haven't already, you might like to make use of the search feature to see if the issue has already been mentioned.
