The question is about what it would feel like. I think it would feel as much like an NG at a similar load as anything because pilots spend so little time at high AoA and also little time hand flying that they have no good basis for comparison. We already have record of a flight without MCAS in the first Lion Air situation non-crash flight. The pilots made no comment on any difficulty of hand flying besides the obvious loss of electric trim.
They were nowhere near the corner of the flight envelope where MCAS (normally) operates.
