I'm having a similar issue but it's even worse. Once the chunks stop loading properly and the blocks start appearing invisible I can't do anything at all. I can't interact with blocks (loaded or invisible), and as soon as I try to open my inventory or the pause menu it gives me a loading bar, but it will never actually load. The only way to fix it is to reset the app. I've noticed that this sometimes happens when the game is auto-saving, and it happens most when I enter or leave the Nether. It's entirely random when it happens and you have zero control over it.
