I am seeing this issue as well with my son's xbox account (which has family settings applied). All other features appear to work. He can connect to realms. He could previously connect to his friends worlds. As of last night he can no longer connect to his friends worlds, the xbox screen hangs on "Connecting to world..." the dialog cannot be dismissed and the app has to be restarted to get out of this screen. Restarting the app and xbox has no impact on the behavior.
It is not a NAT issue - that was one of the first things I checked.
Edit: I was able to resolve my son's connection issues - not sure if they resolved on their own or it was because I loosened the third party content restrictions on his account. The friend he was trying to play with is on a ps5 vs his xbox one.
