Featured by Docm77, and he has a fix for 1.14.4 pre3 & tutorial: youtube.com/watch?v=POTL0MiYqDc IMPORTANT: The trap door he added under the villagers seems to cause them to die, so leave it out (credit to knockoutpanda for finding out WHAT was the problem. My theory is the villagers will sometimes get their heads in water while sleeping, and the waterlogged trapdoor would block their vision to the zombie so they'd stay asleep while they drown). Here is his fix applied to this farm, just replace the slab in front of villagers with a top trapdoor (to let them pathfind to workstations) and lower the back composter by 1 block imgur.com/a/jxwia9A
Important note! In Doc's video he had a trap door below the villagers, but I've been told this can cause the villagers to die. My guess is it blocks the villager's vision and they can't be woken up by the zombie, and can drown in the water when they slip off the bed. So perhaps the villagers eye position is not on top of the bed but at the bottom of the bed where the trapdoor can block it? I've tested this for many hours without the trapdoor and not had a problem.

Thanks to RaysWorks as well for encouraging me to make this video, and everyone on his Wed/Fri streams working on these farms. Also FACS01 made a useful mod to see last worked and slept: Villager Stats 1.14.3 by FACS01: mediafire.com/file/itzj45egqkydxvk/Villager+Stats+1.14.3.zip . place in your save folder/datapacks/ then run this in minecraft: /function villagerstats:cmds/tag.time.worked.slept.add.all (autocomplete can help with other options)
Villagers bob up and down in water, going in and out of view of the zombie, which gives them opportunities to sleep/work (which is necessary to spawn iron golems). Instead of water streams to push the golems, it conveniently uses the same zombie to attract golems off the platform. Collection area would be somewhere below.
If you build more than 1, make sure to space out villager groups at least 11 blocks to be safe, though I would actually space them 16 blocks so golem spawning doesn't interfere with adjacent villagers. I am unsure of the exact mechanics of iron golem spawning (size of bounding box/radius checked for existing golems, etc), however in this farm where the villager clusters are 14 blocks apart, they did not seem to interfere.
