I tested all mobs from the table in 19w12a. I did not test any other mobs. Here my results:
Horse: Hitbox is a bit higher than the torse, head is mostly outside. Eye height is right at the top, causing it to suffocate in water below solid blocks.
Donkeys have the same hitbox and eye height, despite being smaller.
Baby horses have too low hitboxes and the same suffocation problem.
Giant: Fixed.
Small armor stands: Eye height too low, hitbox a bit too low.
Baby zombie pigman: Hitbox too small, eye height slightly too low.
Baby zombies: Hitbox too small all around (very annoying), eye height ok.
Baby drowned: Hitbox too small, eye height ok.
Baby villager: Looks good. It's debatable whether the arms should be inside the hitbox.
Zombie pigman: Hitbox not high enough, eye height ok.
Baby zombie pigmen are in the list twice.
Baby husk: Hitbox too small, eye height too low.
Guardian: Hitbox too small all around, except for the bottom, eye position is hard to test due to MC-77576, but seems either ok or slightly too low.
Elder guardian: Same as regular guardian.
Ghast: Hitbox too small all around, eye position ok (but it's kind of weird that the eye position line isn't long enough to stick out).
Bat: Hitbox too far back, too high (not sure if intentionally wrong to be easier to hit), eye position is only correct on the lowest point of the up/down animation. It should probably be correct for the average.
Ender crystal hitbox is all kinds of weird, because there's the bedrock part, the up/down movement, it's probably meant to have a big hitbox to make it easier to hit it in the end fight, the eye position is pretty much irrelevant, … No idea what is intended here.
Zombie pigmen are in the list twice.
Zombie: Hitbox just about not high enough, width is debatable, because of torse, head, arms. Eye height ok.
Villager: See zombie.
Witch: See zombie and villager, but there's also the big witches hat.
Skeleton: Hitbox height good, width is debatable, eye height good.
Cave spider: Hitbox just about not high enough and not nearly wide/long enough. Eye position matches the top pair of eyes, not sure if that's intended or if it should be the average.
Vindicator: See zombie and villager.
Evoker: See zombie, villager and vindicator.
Parrot: Hitbox is too far back, height good, width debatable, eye height good.
Polar bear: Hitbox just about not high enough, width is debatable: should be longer and narrower, but all hitboxes are square, so I guess there has to be compromise. The hitbox should also probably be further forward. Eye position is way too high.
Panda: See polar bear, except that they are wider, so the short front/back length of the hitbox is a worse compromise.
Baby panda: See panda, but more extreme.
Fox: Hitbox is way too short in the forward/back direction, height looks good, but is hard to see, because the hitbox is so short that it doesn't even reach to the ears. Eye position looks good.
Llama spit: Can be tested now, hitbox is too small all around, eye position is arbitrary.
Player, not sneaking: Hitbox not high enough, eye position ok. Width debatable, like zombie, villager, vindicator and evoker.
Player, sneaking: Hitbox height looks ok, but is a bit hard to see, width debatable, eye height slightly too high.
Player, gliding: Very unclear, due to MC-90594. Looks pretty messed up when swimming at least.
Ender dragon: Hitbox looks reasonable for the farthest reaches of the head, wings, tail and feet in their animation, except that the tail sticks out slightly. Eye position is way too high.

Guardian (elder or not) eyes will follow the player when the game is frozen using the /tick command.
Steps to Reproduce:
- Freeze the game
/tick freeze
- Spawn an elder guardian, or guardian
- Walk around it, viewing it's eye
Observed Behavior:
The guardian's eye will follow you.
Expected Result:
The eye would not follow you, because the game is frozen.
Anything flowing out of noAI is intended and won't be changed. They're not going to rewrite a large chunk of code just so the eye doesn't follow with noAI.
could be problematic, but they have to decide if they consider it as a bug

Simplifying to the remaining issue that isn't already covered by other issues.
I just tested it and it always focuses the nearest the player watching it as it is rendered client side.
However it would be still fixable by just adding this condition in front of the eye rendering in the ModelGuardian.java (1.8) class (1.8 MCP names):
if (!Minecraft.getMinecraft().playerController.isSpectatorMode())So it would look like this:
Note however that it can still be considered as a bug that a guardian is not looking at the closest player.
