You don't have to worry about bank runs if you're not a fractional reserve bank. People were right to not trust banks, banks were fraudsters, loaning out money that wasn't theirs, then when people caught wind of it, the system collapsed.
The real laws should have been 'banks shall not loan out money from a depositor's account' and the problem would have been resolved. Investors could have loaned out money. Insurance could have protected against bank robberies, similar to how any kind of insurance works against theft today.
