We'd need some meta analysis of the rate of issues for other plane types by release date to track the declining exponential curve of bugs to legacy.

"all new systems have bugs. this may not be unusual"

I don't think anything else has been pushed as far as the 737. The closest are probably the De Havilland DHC-8 and the Douglas DC-9/MD-80/MD-90/717, and maybe the DC-10/MD-11. The The Q400 had some pretty serious landing gear issues, the MD-11 was notoriously tricky to land, the MD-80 had that undocumented auto throttle issue, and the MD-90 had those extra flaps next to the engines.
