I am unable to replicate this issue in 1.16.4 +. Thank you for your help!
I don't understand why it would be working as intended. Zombie pigmen (zombified piglins) used to scare villagers, but not hurt them. I understand that villagers used to not be scared, but then it was introduced that they were, and I've been waiting for nearly 2 whole versions of the game for it to be fixed. Thanks for looking into it anyway. 🙂

I cannot recreate this in a single player world. Seems only on a server. Due to latency?
Yes, that is correct. I haven't had any issues before using a smite V axe. I even tried critical hitting, with the same result.
I may have read the recipe incorrectly, i apologize.
Clearly in one of the scenarios attached there are no blocks above the plants. They are above a lower half slab. Java edition 1.13 full release, not pre-release, realms.
I have just updated my single player world, and rebuilt my portal chunk loader for my mob switch, which is also not working any more.
