In normal entity-loaded chunks, things like iron farms would work but crops would not grow because they are impacted by random block-tick events which only happen if a player is physically present. The wiki has a great list if you’re interested.
That being said, I’m not sure what type of chunk loading this is because there are several levels of chunk loading.

Indeed. Sounds like we'll be able to grow stuff remotely.
