Getting back to the serious part of it, I recently went through a number of bookings/cancellations / changes because I did not want my
family to fly on the 737 MAX on a route that has 2 flights a day - one on the 7M8 and the other on a 321.
What are the chances of a swap there, and what do I do about it if it happens?

There is always a chance. I would suggest checking flightradar24 or something similar to see how often swap happens. If OP can provide more details about the route then we can probably provide some more useful information. Some routes are more likely to get swapped than others.

Airbus is on the way out as the Max's arrive.
The further out your date, they greater the chance of a swap.
I just received notice of a YVR-YUL swap to a 7M8 from a 320. Summer travel.

Which route/flight? Your specific flight won't be the only one that fits this scenario. And not all routes "fall victim", if you will, to this sort of thing often.
Plus, there aren't that many 788s now as there are 789s.
Are you referring to 873 or 877? Just a wild guess based on your handle.

Whoops, sorry, forgot the flight info: The flight is FRA-YCC; AC845.

Basically, what @Stranger and the others upthread have said/alluded to.
The chances are low, but there's always a chance.
