 Pretty sure this is a case of Don't Do That. You're not supposed to respawn monsters by giving them health and using "goto Spawn", but by properly resurrecting using e.g. Thing_Raise or with A_Respawn.

The "zombies" cannot be killed again after they first respawn as of 3.0.

 But it still desyncs in 3.0. And before you dismiss this as a case of "Don't do that.", I'd like to know why it stops desyncing completely when the tic durations are changed. For instance, it doesn't seem to desync at all when the death state is changed from:

Death:
  PLAY N 5 A_NoBlocking
  PLAY N 5 A_Scream
  PLAY N 5 A_Gravity
  PLAY N 70
  TNT1 A 0 HealThing (999)
  TNT1 A 0 A_ChangeFlag ("SHOOTABLE", 1)
  TNT1 A 0 A_NoGravity
  PLAY N 2 ThrustThingZ (0, 10, 0, 1)
  Goto Spawn


To:

Death:
  PLAY N 1 A_NoBlocking
  PLAY N 1 A_Scream
  PLAY N 1 A_Gravity
  PLAY N 70
  PLAY N 1 HealThing (999)
  PLAY N 1 A_ChangeFlag ("SHOOTABLE", 1)
  PLAY N 1 A_NoGravity
  PLAY N 1 ThrustThingZ (0, 10, 0, 1)
  Goto Spawn

I still insist on there being an underlying issue causing the actual desync in the first place. Correct me if I'm wrong.

I made an example WAD that uses the correct behavior (and works in 3.0) and it still desyncs in a nasty way online. See attached screenshot. The jumping corpses are actually living monsters that have been resurrected with Thing_Raise.

Death:
  PLAY N 5 A_NoBlocking
  PLAY N 5 A_Scream
  PLAY N 5 A_Gravity
  PLAY N 70
  PLAY N -1 Thing_Raise (0)
  Stop
Raise:
  PLAY N 0
  PLAY N 0
  PLAY N 0 A_NoGravity
  PLAY N 2 ThrustThingZ (0, 10, 0, 1)
