Do you mean to say the Zcash trusted setup shouldn't have used MPC? Or do you mean to say Zcash itself is fudnementally flawed due to the trusted setup?

The second one mainly. There is probably a way to do MPC in a truly trustless manner but that's another big challenge and Zcash investors were probably getting impatient so they pushed for a launch.
