Perhaps contrary to my last post, it is a little strange to see Jewish, Muslim, and Catholic Greek Byzantine emperors, which I have.
Jews, Jews everywhere.

I remember the days when HRE turned Sunni in around 1/5 of my games...

I remember reading a dev post that it isn't the court physician directly converting people, it all happens through preexisting mechanics like the heritage focus (Which I believe looks for high learning when selecting guardians) or friendship, and all Reaper's Due has done is increase the number of different religions at the average court.
Come to think of it, You'd see this kind of thing pretty often in older patches when you extinctify a religion, too. Like if you take over the entire muslim world you'll sometimes notice all the muslim courtiers flee to Scotland or someplace like that, because they've got nowhere else to go, and inevitably one of them will convert someone landed. I see it most often with Armenians in early state dates.

Could just be bad luck on your part. I'm 300 years in and there is currently exactly one landed Jewish character in the entire game, ruling over a city somewhere in Brittany.
I haven't noticed any religious shenanigans in general either(discounting my reformed Zunist empire of the Sun). The steppe hordes have mostly adopted Manichean but that's nothing radical. Western Europe is mostly Catholic, and Catholicism has spread into Scandinavia and eastern Europe as well, and the Byzantines are still Orthodox. Pretty standard.
One thing I am glad to see is the the "Rise of the Shia" event has actually resulted in a strong, stable Shia Caliphate twice(the first one got wiped out by the Mongols). That event used to never do anything besides annoy the Sunni Caliph for a few months.

Wait, the AI is using heritage focus to convert their heir away from their religion/culture? Sounds like something they shouldn't be doing.
Heritage focus, once selected, cannot be changed by anyone, AI or otherwise. Guardians, on the other hand, can be changed freely, and sometimes have to be changed if a guardian dies or something. But again, I suspect the AI just selects the highest learning courtier (Which is often an excellent foreign doctor), or maybe selects along some other axis (Positive traits?) which good foreign doctors exhibit.
Does anyone remember the name of the user that posted that image on the first page? I sadly regret not saving it.
From the looks of the posts made, this is a rather uncommon occurrence, so in this case; ENJOY IT. The argument of "this isnt historical" seems silly to me considering even the history we have is unlikely, but unlikely things happen. Plus, if only historical things happen in this game it would be rather boring. Now I appreciate a good balance (I dont want to see the spanish occupy finland in a crusade EVERY game I play) but once in a while its fun to see an interesting twist.

I shudder to think how many pounds of flesh they've wrought with the seduce action...

CKII+ has no de jure empires except HRE, ERE and Persia iirc, which means that there are all sorts of formable titular empires to be made.
For all these conversion events there should be some sort of event requirements like:
Is Christian = No
Is Muslim = No
Is Reformed Pagan = No
Is Christian = No
Is Muslim = No
Is Reformed Pagan = No
