Confirmed, only seems to work in backend forms.

Yes, the user field doesn't work on the front end, probably that's why the filter is set to "unset" on the front https://github.com/joomla/joomla-cms/blob/staging/components/com_content/models/forms/article.xml#L112. In one of my extensions I'v made a workaround that I set the created_by on the front to type sql and make query against the users. But honestly the user field shouldn't show up at all on the front end.

It was a misunderstanding with the user field. The groups field should work on the front end. Please test pr #14498 which should fix it.
