I don't know if I can say that I speak for MMT proponents generally but in his lecture on stabilising an unstable economy[1] Wray puts forward a series of very simple regulatory changes that would avoid those types of problems. In other words, regulatory oversight is a better tool for managing those types of bubbles than monetary policy.
Mosler also talks about interest rate policy in his debate with Murphy[2] and has a long career in finance in both a public and private capacity. I don't think you could say he hasn't paid enough attention to anything to do with interest rates!
