Ok so will you clarify if you believe the Boeing fix will be safe or not? If safe, what is the point of your list:
1) Decommission MACS feature and replace by a change to the mechanical feel in the control run, to achieve higher stick load at higher AoA with no stabiliser input
2) Build in a standby trim motor and scrap the trim wheel (see MD-80 for example)
3) Start from scratch with the trim electric logic and simplify the cut-out, column cut-out and trim switch confusion
...that adds cost and the potential to introduce new and unforeseen malfunctions, by comparison with the fix Boeing have come up with. Nor do I think there is any chance Boeing could get all those things done in the time the MAX will be grounded, which is an assumption your point is based on.
