This is the real problem with Boeing. The MCAS design fiasco and the door plug falling off were not isolated incidents, but symptoms of broader issues. I can only wonder what remaining hidden flaws aircraft currently in the air may have, and what they might cause in the future. Recently I had the option to fly on either 737MAX or 20 year old A319, and chose the latter option simply because I have more faith in safety culture at Airbus.
