I'm seeing identical symptoms on mine, though I figured maybe it was a bug since I was getting logs with no problems.  
The agents themselves on both endpoints (Linux for now) and the Fleet server are reporting as "healthy" when running "elastic-agent status".  
Do you have Logstash as an output? I noticed when I'm sending logs directly to elasticsearch cluster, the agents are healthy. It didn't start getting stuck until I decided I wanted the agents to output to Logstash instead.
