it just happened to me as well. Went to the end for the first time in this world with the goal to get some shulker shells. I got a good whooping and died several times, after the 10th time or so i came back to fight since I just managed to destroy all the crystals. but there was no dragon, end return portal open but no portal to any end city or drop a dragon egg. will have to open in creative and try to get to the end like this, which is quite disappointing. no achievement to be gained anymore which is a bummer.
I totally agree, this slow crouching and the mechanics are really annoying. 5 seconds to crouch and stand back up are too long, as well as the problem of falling off edges. I was hoping for this to be a bug!
