Just my opinion, but Boeing is no longer manufacturing aircraft in a vacuum (meaning without oversight), so there have been positive changes to their oversight.
Time will tell the final answer.

Extreme scrutiny = the production rate being capped again. It will only take one mild issue for that to be put in place yet again. Keep in mind the MAX 10 line is being put in place at PAE and will be the slowest production line of the four MAX production lines.
