Yeah, I'm definitely mixing airframes here. To clarify:

1. In a non-MAX 737, the trim bias for autoland is a high, and a Stab trim runaway would be a handful on stab trim runaway-now manually hand flown go around. No MCAS required; but there is a Stab Runaway checklist because presumably, it's possible.

2. For the MAX with the MCAS, it would have been great if the NTSB could have sent a bunch of non-check airmen types through the Lion Air/Adis Ababa scenarios with absolutely zero warning or preparation to see what the "average" pilot would have done. Presumably, the Boeing test pilots and engineers were concerned that the "average" pilot wouldn't be able to identify and correct a potential problem in a timely fashion. Hard to get qualified "average" pilots to just show up in a sim somewhere; the self selection bias of such a group would be pretty high.
