As of the last time I went, Vietnam issues full page visas regardless of how you apply (embassy, airport, etc.) but are there any others that do, as well? I think Cambodia's eVisa just gets stapled.
From my experience, and updated what others said below in italics:
No Stamp:
S. Korea
HK
Quarter Page (Inbound only):
Singapore
Japan (reports since Dec '19, outbound stamp now optional)
Taiwan (if e-Gate eligible on departure)
1/2 Page (Inbound + Outbound):
Thailand
China (TWOV)
Taiwan (if not e-Gate eligible on departure)
Malaysia
Philippines
Myanmar
Sri Lanka
Full Page:
China (standard visa)
Vietnam
Laos
Nepal (or 3/4 of a page)
Not sure:
Indonesia
Kazakhstan
Kyrgyzstan
Mongolia

I did evisa for Vietnam early this year and it was just loose leaf. I don't know if the embassy issued visa is still the full pager though.
More countries seem to be doing away with them. I was disappointed by lack of stamps when I was in S. Korea and Taiwan last month.

Japan is not a topic for this forum, but note that Japan no longer requires outbound stamp, so only the inbound sticker is required. The outbound stamp is optional for those who need it.

Thanks all. Updated my post with info gleaned here, including Japan. Curious if anyone has left Japan from CTS or another airport that isnt HND, NRT, KIX and NGO without the stamp, as those 4 have the more advanced technology.

Nepal is definitely not a full page. It would be half a page if they stuck it neatly but the bloke who did my last one didn’t. Although there’s still space around it for a bunch of stamps

There were some reports on the BR forum about foreign passport holders being sent through e-Gate on exit (even those not signed up for a e-Gate reciprocity program), but nothing about entry.
