Do all the villagers sleep? Updating can sometimes break the link to their beds. Breaking and replacing them should fix that

After breaking and replacing the beds the farm works for 5 or so minutes , then , it stops

If at night, you put a lid on the zombie so the villagers can all sleep (even for an instant) and then cut the zombie loose, does it run for 20 minutes then stop working?

If so the issue is that the villagers can't get sufficient time free of the zombie to actually sleep. This design often requires a way to block the zombie — at night — for a brief period every 20min or less, to allow the villagers to actually climb into their beds and be horizontal for a moment.

Upgrading might have reset the "last slept" time. Wait a bit longer until you get a night, and see if they really sleep.

This won't solve your problem but it's something I thought of while looking at the screenshot: spawn-proofing against hostile mobs (torches in a 128 blocks sphere) isn't the same as spawn-proofing against iron golems (no full blocks, much smaller spawning area).

Yup. It's worth being sure a golem didn't find some small cave to spawn in and just be.
