What the whole 737 MAX/MCAS debacle highlighted was that the 737 is a design that is more than 50 years old, and that Boeing can only update it within strict limits, because otherwise it would need a new type certificate, which airlines with massive only-737 fleets like Southwest or Ryanair want to avoid at all cost. So, even with the particularly egregious problem which crashed two planes fixed, my trust in the 737 has diminished considerably.
