Question I am finding that breaking/reclaiming minecarts is much lossier than on vanilla, do other people experience this?

I have a minecart reclamation system which should work, but I'm experiencing a TON of loss on paper. I think the burn calculation in the cauldron is happening faster than the hoppers are picking up the carts occasionally; I've not been able to improve this with iterations like raising the whole apparatus and shoving hopper minecarts under the tracks

Can anyone think of a way to improve this? Cacti are also incredibly lossy but I expect that.

This is the other thing I tried, having similar rates of loss:

Actually, now I'm concerned it's NOT the collection, but entities are glitching in water streams? I think this is happening and now they're despawning after stuck for 5 minutes:

What could be causing this, it's not exactly on a chunk border?
