IE11 not rendering MS Form
So that you know... you're not alone here. I see this behavior all the time and it doesn't seem to be predictable.
One form will work flawlessly across browsers, versions, and platforms (mobile/desktop) and the next won't. So far I think it has to do with how the Form can't get information from the iframe/frame window as to size as this is a cross-site scripting control.
The first thing to remember is that Forms run in a different domain than your SharePoint site and tend to break cross-site embedding rules in older browsers. The next is that for small display windows (iframes in narrow columns) ... Forms often has trouble figuring out how much room it has to display and instead of converting to mobile display mode .. it often gives you the "click here" view - so as to maximize its display area.
There is probably a way to make this go away but I haven't figured out a solution across all of the browsers I need to support.
I've built a whole service desk using Forms and Flow and wanted to have it work in a popupwindow using iframes and embeds... but I eventually had to go back to ancient HTML and use Framesets to get the behavior I really wanted and it still only works like 95% of the time.

My experience has been the opposite to yours, CYappert.
I've had no issues with Forms web part across the numerous ones that I use (also integrated with Flow in a number of cases).
Maybe someone from the Microsoft Forms team can jump in with their thoughts?
