I don't know if what the Fed and FDIC did changes a whole lot in the broader context, though maybe they'll announce more. The FDIC is covering depositors (that likely would've been fine anyway) in a way that might not be able to be replicated if there are wider issues. And the Fed's new Bank Term Funding Program only has $25B in funding; that's obviously not going to provide a whole lot of liquidity when we're talking about something like $20T in deposits.
