I have no data to suggest that changes any changes to the c.g. envelope have any meaningful impact to the operation of the MAX vs the NG. During normal airline operations, it is highly unusual to see this aircraft loaded anywhere near a limit. That generally comes up only on ferry/reposition flights with certain fuel loads or situations where a cargo compartment is placarded.
