I just ran into this again on 1.18 (local world on Bedrock Xbox). All animals, pets, villagers, iron golems, etc. are gone again (name tags didn't help). It's interesting to note that animals in pens that were about 150 blocks from where I was on save disappeared–as did the villagers closest to me–but some villagers that were closer to me than the animal pens did not disappear.
We can't play the game until this is fixed. For example, leveling up Librarians takes time and I'm not doing it until this is resolved.
