My intuitive "feel" on this is the crews faced very complex scenarios that they were untrained for, and this contributed to the two MAX accidents.
However, the raw data of the accident rates suggests that the 737-NG operation globally is remarkable immune to a catastrophic outcome bases on the exact AoA failures, the consequent cacophony of warnings and noise, even though they share the same sensors and architecture with the sole exception of the MCAS system. As far as I am aware, there have been no hull losses due to flight control issues for the NG.
Globally, NG crews have dealt with these failure modes and landed the aircraft safely in 22 years and 100+ million flights.
