After the 1.16 update, my server running Bedrock Dedicated Server software (Ubuntu) is behaving differently w.r.t. spawning.

Specifically, skeletons and creepers, spiders, and slimes are spawning constantly in well lit areas during the day, in both the overworld and underground.

I have ensured light levels are extremely high.  There are cats everywhere.  This does not deter creepers from spawning.

Tried various difficulty levels.  This does not seem to change the spawn rate.

If this is intended behavior, please consider revising or giving us server options to control various spawn rates.  The game is almost unplayable with the number of creepers that spawn.  It is constant and not preventable.
