RYR operate 738s onto some runways with less than 6000' without performance kits, but that is on flights of only a couple of hours and in the temperate north of Europe. I don't think the 73 will have any issues at GIB. As for comments about the 73 cabin vs 320, the Max cabins are more akin to the 787's and are leagues ahead of the current 320s, so that comparison is not really a fair one, especially as so much is down to customer specification, not the manufacturer.
