Hmm, doesn't the MAX have a "Speed Trim Fail" light, like the NG?
Later edit: it seems to have that light:
MCAS is designed as a sub-function of the STS, so in theory they could reuse that light to indicate MCAS failures as well. In my opinion it would make things easier to diagnose, especially when combined with an AoA disagree alert.
