If the same is true for the Max, the number of Silicon Valley techies who understand this antiquated system (both hardware and software) is limited.

Limited? How bout non-existent. The vast majority of these techies weren’t even born when that technology was developed and it hasn’t been formally taught in eons. Sadly the best talent might very well be in India as they’re used to playing with our hand-me-downs. Such a sad state of affairs.
IMHO I can no longer see a long term path for sustained MAX production. The sooner they start a clean sheet with modern systems while getting a limping MAX back in the air is their best, and maybe only, option. The MAX can not survive as the malfeasance continues to emerge on an almost daily basis.
