AoA Failure Rate

I hope the investigators will look into the AoA failure rate pre MAX. How many have been pulled for repair or replacement? Birds and ramp rash did not begin with the MAX.

Pre MAX, an AoA failure seems to produce "only" stick shaker and IAS disagree which every 737 crew handled successfully (until ET and JT). I suspect there's been a considerable number.
