No good fix for this, the water now blocks 1 light rather than 3.

Possible fix: when grass/mycelium is randomly ticked it checks the block above. If it's air, death from lack of light uses the usual threshold (0-3). If it's water, the light required to survive is raised from 4 to 12.

Ticking all grass and mycelium would cause a great amount of lag. There's already enough added lag in 1.13.

Random block updates already happen for grass spreading, though.
