I am commenting to state that this is still very much an unresolved issue. 

Last year, I upgraded to an Xbox Series X - however, I still have the same issues. This is my fourth world that has failed to sync or became corrupted. However, I didn't get the black and pink boxes like I did on Xbox One. First, I got messages that I needed to free up space in order to save. But I had already deleted all my previous worlds (since I could no longer play them). So, there was no space to free up. But I was able to continue playing. Then recently, I got the dreaded "cannot sync world" "maybe corrupt" popup. This always happened when my world reached 1.2GB or more. So, basically, as I progress through the game - the closer I am to losing that world. I would love to beat the game, but that is literally impossible on Xbox. I have sent multiple Minecraft support tickets - no one has been able to help. I've posted and upvoted in the bug tracker. I've reached out to other users on various forums (Reddit). I've also reached out to Microsoft support. Not one person has been able to help me. If this is not fixed soon, I am going to see about getting a refund for the game. It sucks playing a game that you can never beat. And I don't want to make yet another world. I've progressed so far. And I don't want to start all over, just for this to happen again. PLEASE HELP!!

Sorry in advance for the long post; just really want to make I provide plenty of details in hope that this issue will actually be fixed. 

I started playing Minecraft again in January 2023 after a pretty long hiatus. Purchased a digital copy of the game on Xbox marketplace and started playing. Fast forward to May 2023 and my world's size was around 1GB. Mind you my Xbox One has PLENTY of storage space left on it. But noticed the further I ventured away from world spawn, the more glitchy my world became. Until, finally, it started failing to sync my world data. I reached out on Reddit (zero help there) and searched on Google to see if I could remedy the situation. The only thing I came across was uninstalling the game from my Xbox One, shutting the console down, unplugging for about 30 seconds, plugging back in, and reinstalling the game. And at first, that did work. But again, the more I explored and played the game, my world started failing to sync again. But after a handful of doing the uninstall/re-install method, eventually the pop-up claimed the world was corrupt. It happened too while I was playing; usually if I was crossing an ocean. The game would freeze up and I would have random pink and black boxes across the screen (like those pictured on this thread). Anyway, I was unable to fix it (couldn't even delete the world - just wouldn't let me); but I figured I would just wait until the 1.20 update dropped to create a new world.

So, I created a new world in June 2023. Wasn't as glitchy as my first world. The game would often freeze up for about 5 minutes (not exaggerating) when I arrived at a village. I thought maybe I was in the clear - but unfortunately my world started failing to sync starting mid-October 2023. And as you can guess, it went from failing to sync to stating that the world is now corrupt. Obviously, devastated. I contacted Mojang technical support, and really they were only able to provide some minor troubleshooting things to try. All unsuccessful. I then contacted Microsoft technical support; they were at least about to instruct me to run tests on network connection (which checked out fine) and freeing up some storage space, even though our console had plenty of space. Unfortunately, that was also unsuccessful. I attempted to reach out to Mojang support again and they recommended I post on the bug tracker site. I'm assuming the more people report on this issue the better chance there is it will be fixed? But I'm definitely not holding my breathe.

I'm very VERY frustrated. It seems like if you play on Xbox, you aren't able to play the game all the way through the campaign. I'm not completely ready to give up on my world just yet. I'm going to continue scouring the internet for potential remedies. Plus it seems stupid to make another world just for it to crash just from playing the game normally.
