This is hinted at in a note at the end of the procedure, I say it should have been highlighted.

Unlike 'stuck switch" uncommanded trim the MCAS case does allow for pilot electrical trim first then followed by cutout, a quick blip of the switch is all that would be needed to test if this was possible. That could be a step in the runaway trim procedure, I agree do not need a seperate MCAS checklist if that was included.
I think that’s a good observation. Sorry for misinterpreting your original intent.
