TESRs are something totally different, associated with TileEntities (hence TESR) and rendered with the entities, not the blocks, and every render tick, not with the chunk.

Aah, my mistake. The main thrust of the argument still stands, though: the JSON system could've been implemented without completely rewriting things, if it'd been implemented as an option instead of as a requirement for creating custom blocks.
I still don't put any responsibility on Mojang to make things easier for modders, but at the same time it bugs me when we hear that there are those at Mojang who make remarks about the modding community staying behind a version.
Model functionality could have certainly been implemented far better than it has been, and on top of the old block renderer. 1.8 went through such a rendering overhaul though that it probably just made no sense to spend any effort to put it back and test it when literally nothing in the game uses it anymore. The fluid renderer uses a custom renderer, not models, but even it doesn't need that old block rendering code either because it's not specifically a cube.

At the risk of necroposting, I think that it's far too relevant to mention what (IIRC) @VikeStep found, that the code which stops you from sprinting when low on hunger is entirely client-side.
Yeah, I wrote a client side mod to confirm it, I was going to include it in sprinkles_for_vanilla and was surprised I was looking at client code. I ended out enforcing the mod being on the server though for that feature to work.
It exists in both 1.7 and 1.8, haven't checked 1.9

Mojang broke chunk render updates in this previous week's snapshots to scrape a few more fps out of it. There's now a noticeable delay in updates most of the time, resulting in things like both pieces of a door not necessarily moving at the exact same moment, or being able to see sky briefly when digging blocks underground, particularly at chunk boundaries.
Normally I wouldn't make a big deal out of something from a snapshot, but this is something they've broken before, so you'd think they'd know better by now. Nearby chunks just can't be queued for future render updates, particularly ones you're interacting with. I got these exact same side effects when I worked on my own voxel engine before and had to force those chunks to update immediately. FPS should come second to anything that breaks immersion.
They might still revert or fix it, but it concerns me because they've left similarly annoying issues in the game for long periods before.

We need to turn "god damn it, Mojang" into a meme, at this point.
Hmmm.....which meme?
Developer: god damn it, Mojang!
or
Player: 1.7.10 is so yesterday! Update your mod to 1.8 already!
Maybe...
"Get demands to update to 1.8 / Mojang broke everything. / God damn it, Mojang."
