The 737 is stable. It can be hand flown. MCAS does not operate with AP in or flaps extended. The MCAS was only to increase back pressure required near the critical angle (stall) NOT to make the aircraft stable enough to fly.
How many times does this have to be corrected?
I think, you are not up to date. It even isn't challenged by the Boeing submarine, that the plane is lacking the stability required by certification standards.
The dispute remaining - unsolvable due to lack of data - is:
Not stable enough - but still stable throughout the envelope.
Not stable enough - but critically stable at some points of the envelope.
Not stable enough - and unstable at some points of the envelope.
To me the not stable enough for certification w/o MCAS is sufficient.
