I don't think the bug is despawning entities directly. In my world, just under my village (where my billagers have been despawning) is a cave system full of my villagers. I think the recent updates are loading entities in slightly before the blocks they're standing on, and they are falling into the ground below. I experienced similar issues with my teleporters in the past. Command blocks with the code: "/execute @p[r=1] ~~~ /tp @s new destination coords" would randomly spawn the player 1 block down of where they were supposed to be, or using the teleport would kill the player. (I'm assuming by suffocation or void).
Furthermore, not only did i find villagers beneath my village, but i found over 10 zombie villagers in a single spot in a well lit area clumped up on eachother that all loaded when the chunk loaded.
So! Unless i missed some massive hole in my village that drops things into a cave (and i assure you there isn't one) I believe the entities are loading before blocks and falling instead of outright dissapearing.
Hope that helps! I created an account just to report this. I have videos on my ps4 but don't know how to add them to this.
(I play on an xbox started realm from my ps4, with experimental gameplay turned on without education edition, and as previously mentioned, command blocks are enabled. My game plays smoothly dispite 5 players on at a time, and runs pretty well.)
