You're also flying in the US.
This is the most important part. Our FAA is extremely rigorous. So are the airlines. So are the pilot unions. One of the key rules of all three parties is that planes cannot leave the gate with known safety defects. I just doesn't happen. Even if the FAA and the airline ignored the rule, the ALPA guys will not.
What this means is that its 1000x harder to have an accident because no safety devices are missing, which can make a bad situation go way worse. See the Lion Air crash. They wrote up bad sensors repeatedly on that plane and ignored it repeatedly. You would absolutely never have that here.

Ya, the first pilots who dealt with it were able to get the plane down safely. It was the next crew, who had no idea about the previous flight problem and the sensor still not fixed, who crashed. Sad.

That was only one part, all US Max have dual AOA sensors, the International flights that crashed had single. There was no redundancy.
And to contradict your FAA extremely rigorous, don't watch the Max documentary on Netflix. It will show you how easily Boeing swayed them to let things slide.
