Is this a new problem with version 4.19.16-1? Or did it happen with
earlier versions as well?

When you say "data loss", are you talking about data in memory or
corruption of files that were saved and sync'd to disk?
On x86 laptops thermal management is (by default) done by the system
firmware (BIOS and management engine code). If you didn't override
that, and yet the CPU overheats, this is the manufacturer's fault.
