Renewal application submitted 6/15/2018.
Approved without interview 7/12/2018
Submission to notification: 27 days.
I have visited 41 countries in the past 5 years, including Cuba.
FWIW - probably nothing - I got the email minutes after I finalized my wife's renewal application, and a day and a half after returning from three weeks out of the country.

I've never been asked to list out every country I listed on the app. I can't imagine they would expect someone to commit that to memory. The renewal interview was very short in my case.

Is it true if you submit your renewal application prior to expiration and it's still pending review at date of expiration, that you still have global entry for 3 or 6 months until renewal is approced? I thought I read that somewhere, but can't seem to find anything official.

If you submitted a renewal application before expiration of your current membership, then you can continue to use your benefits until the renewal is finalized (up to 6 months after your expiration date).

Received approval Sunday afternoon 7/15/2018. No interview, new card arrived about 2 weeks after approval. New expiration on my birthdate in 2024 (5 1/2 years from now, 5 years from original expiration date). Renewal took about 27 days. Used my United Mileage Plus card to pay fee, $100 statement credit appeared within 24 hours of application.

Did you tell the officer that you always violate customs laws? 
Seems like a pretty silly line of questioning. But if they're quick, they can ask me anything they want!
I did use the helpful (albeit slightly confusing) search function of the Global Entry website to match my travel to available interviews. I was able to find an early interview at EWR -- an airport where, logically, you'd think they might be backed up. Not the case at all. I do wonder if the staff at EWR might be "more serious" than at other airports, given that the risk of terrorism is more real in NYC than elsewhere. Of course, this could also work to my benefit: because they'd be more concerned about real terrorists, they'll quickly conclude I'm not a threat and won't hassle me with an overly bureaucratic process.
