The Sands of Time elevator is the biggest blemish on an otherwise amazing game. Shit would not end.

TMNT Arcade was the first thing that came to mind, but yea, this has been all over the place.

Plenty of games do it, but I can only think of one example where it's done well and that's Titanfall 2. You're on a platform that is having a house/furniture built on it as it moves through a giant facility before it's eventually assembled into a pre-fab town that you have a shoot-out in. Extremely cool set-piece.

DMC3 was great because the enemies all added to the weight on the elevator, so if you failed to kill them fast enough it would drop back to the bottom of the room, forcing you to start again. It adsed stakes and tension to the situation.

Great. Now I want to replay Titanfall 2.

This is an ancient trope indeed. Heck, even Pillars of Eternity (one of the expansions) does it.

Dead space had a really annoying one. Might have been dead space 2 actually.

Did watching Netflix's The Defenders inspire this thread?

Yes

Uncharted 4 had atleast one. You are guarding the jeep. Kinda sucked...

That was honestly one of the best, most creatively designed parts of the game. Blending traversal with combat and spectacle while moving through the game world (rather than keeping you in one spot) was great.

Super Mario 3D World had such a level, you had to avoid spiky balls of varying size as they fell onto the rising platform and rolled in every direction. Believe it was in the Desert world.
