In my years of Minecraft I tried to stay away from chunk loaders/anchors/etc because I kept reading about chunk resets and other problems for no reason or sometimes because an ender chest or a tesseract was near. I'm playing DW20 1.6.4 and I want to know if these problems are solved or if they still occur.
Are the issues with chunk loaders solved?

Not saying that there might not still be some bugs, but I have been using the Chicken chunks chunkloaders quite frequently and not experienced a chunk reset since some server back in 1.4.7(and not sure that was due to the chunkloader tbh). So I dont really have any reservations in using them tbh.
The only issue Chicken Chunks has(possibly had haven't tested in awhile) was non vanilla dimensions(1, 0, -1). In vanilla dimensions they had no error and a small footprint.
That makes sense because the that one time I have seen the chunk reset was in a mystcraft age.
The real problem is people not having backups... ever. That doesnt mean "oh I can go back to an hour ago and fix this". Means you can go back any day in the past week and a half. Then have those backups stored once a week on another computer, even better if that computer isnt in the same building.
The last time I had a chunk reset from a chunkloader, it was back in 1.5.2 and was caused by the server being stopped improperly (power failure). It was simply resolved by either reverting to a world backup, or, in my case (as backups are not very frequenty), restoring the individual chunk from the backup using WorldEdit.
I have actually never used other than chickenchunks, and played for a really long time. World has never become totally wasted, and there was 1 time that 1 chunk got reset at IC2 room area during 1.5.2 (some Direwolf pack). But there hasn't been other issues, even when cross-loading same chunks with ender-thermic pump. They work in all dimensions.
