Alot of what made the N1 dangerous were things that SpaceX has been specifically trying to avoid. The N1s were never actually static fired before launch tests (individual components were tested separately, and it was assumed they would work in accordance). The Superheavy and Starship program has been slowly stepping up their series of static fires. This is also the 2020s, where we dont have to rely on technology like pyrotechnic valves (used because they were lighter) and have massive advances in guidance and metallurgy.
