I'm bothered by the passenger traffic and noise, but that really depends on the location of the seat relative to the lav. 7D on 737Max planes is right next to the door, so you get bumped. 22B/D in PE are ahead of the lav, and pax really shouldn't come into play, though passenger movement nearby plus noise might be annoying.
