Pretty much every new aircraft type will have teething problems during EIS.
What matters is not how many issues they have, but the nature of the issues and how quickly they will be resolved.
If a resolution requires a major change or going back to proverbial 'drawing board', then it is not good.
Fortunately, most of the recent issues both Boeing and Airbus have had during EIS (Such as those with 787 and 350) have been caused by equipment provided by sub contractors and are easily resolvable.
Let's hope the issues with C Series are also similar in nature.
