It would be surprising if any authority accepted a MCAS fix that required ‘failure training’.
Any system which has access to trim requires robust protection; if this is deemed insufficient in extreme circumstance, such as existing runaway trim scenarios, then training for these should have greater focus, but such training would not be MCAS specific.
MACAS experience might be required to provide awareness of aircraft ‘feel’ (pitch manoeuvring) in the few sections of the flight envelope which require MCAS to improve stability, but would be unavailable due to the AoA lockout logic post mod
