Mobs

Mooshrooms, glow squids and (Java) bats are the only natural spawns - no hostile mobs spawn naturally
Monster spawners, raids and phantoms (Java) still work - the protection is biome-level, not light-based

Structures

No structures generate naturally

Why go

Build a base with zero mob-proofing: phantoms and patrols can still visit, but nothing spawns on the island
Mooshroom farming for unlimited food
The ultimate hardcore-mode home base

Tips

Bring dirt and saplings: mycelium is the surface, so grass blocks and most trees are not part of the island.
Phantoms still spawn above you at night - sleep or carry a cat.
