A "simple software fix" with a side order of "it was pilot error" might have worked after Lion Air, if ET is confirmed as same or similar cause then I think you are right - that option is dead in the water now.
There is another issue to add to your list though:
If(f) ET showed similar AOA failure (e.g. constant offset reading) then it is likely that the cause of that will need to be found and resolved. If(f) it is a common wiring fault or ADC fault (i.e. its hardware) then we may be looking at fleet-wide testing and repairs before the MAX flies again.
