To further back the previous comment up, see MC-137588, MC-223033 and this comment by [Mojang] slicedlime on MC-259902

Shields only take damage for attacks stronger than 2 hearts.
I can only reproduce this on easy and normal difficulty, but not on hard, because as mentioned above, shields only take damage when blocking attacks that are stronger than 2 HP, so this is like intended. Also see
MC-137588.Duplicate of
MC-137588Can confirm in 23w06a
Working as intended as per [Mojang] slicedlime's comment on
MC-259902: "The minimum incoming damage to cause durability loss on a shield is 3".
