But I don't understand a cockpit that can overwhelm the crew with a plethora of warnings and cautions and beeps/chirps/etc.
This is nothing new, and certainly not manufacturer-specific:
This is on a Hawker-Siddeley Trident 1C (useful part is from 0:00-2:20, especially the last 30 seconds)
This is on a Boeing 757 (as is the next) - useful part is 6:30-end
(useful part is 7:30-end)
Also, SR-71 wasn't perfect - the FSMs required to set the shock cone occasionally "went rogue"...
