NothingnessOPlast monthNeutral mobs sometimes keep their aggression toward the player even after the player dies and respawns.
* If an Iron Golem kills the player, the Iron Golem will still be aggressive toward that player after they respawn and return.
* If Zombified Piglins kill the player in the Nether, they will still be aggressive when the player returns to the Nether.
Expected behavior:
The mob’s aggression toward the player should be cleared after the player dies.
Actual behavior:
The mob continues targeting and attacking the player after they respawn.

i haven't seen that happen for iron golems before, only for piglins, but are you sure this is a draftout specific bug and not a vanilla issue?

Zombified piglins do not always forgive the player after they die, even if forgiveDeadPlayers is true MC-296130

could be this bc i was playing 3x3 blackout using tnt indirectly to deal damage to golem then I died by accidently fell off, respawn near the golem in village house and golem aggro still on me.
For zombie piglin it was few days ago where i died in nether got killed by falling in a ravinewhile pigman chase after, then come back got my stuff but from another nether portal entry, their aggro still on

Because of the limited radius on the forgiveDeadPlayers gamerule not all the zombie pigs lose aggro, only the ones close to where you died. And then the ones that kept aggro can pass it back to the ones that lost it on your previous death.

I've died to them before in draftout and when I reentered they were very clearly passive, then I heard one angry one through a wall and suddenly they were all angry again.
