The B737 is a very simple aircraft with lots of bells and whistles, most of which are nice to have, not must have.
An enthusiastic Boeing instructor once took me to 35,000 ft in the simulator at the end of a training session then reached up to the overhead panel and turned everything off.
The aircraft still flew.
Dont think they do much of that stuff anymore.
mr picky points out that you mean the simulator kept on simulating. Not quite the same thing as a copilot doing that in flight.
