Discussion

This issue of "recursive rendering" seems to have been extant three years ago. I could not find a point at which the issue was actually resolved but issue queues went quiet so I assume that this was solved?
The above issue seemed to actually be incorrectly detecting recursion where, as in this case, we just have a large number of serial renders.
On the surface this resembles a similar issue that I raised a few weeks ago that we closed "working as designed" (See issue https://www.drupal.org/project/simplenews/issues/3285034 🐛 Media image ignored (in batch only) with Symfony Mailer Closed: works as designed ) but in this case we have a specific log message detailing the reason for the failure
Image fields in the Article are sent correctly. It is only the embedded images that are at issue

This issue was found with an early beta, and hasn't been reported by anyone else in 2.5 years. There's no simple way to reproduce it. Hopefully the problem is now fixed and I feel it's now reasonable to call the issue outdated.
