When I'm sitting in the plane that has CAS firmware, I'd like to think it wasn't written by an LLM and that my death in the case of a CAS failure isn't chalked up to "some engineer somewhere gets in trouble".

There probably already is generated code in there, only it was generated from UML. I don’t think that LLM generated code will be treated differently from the point of view of the relevant regulations.
UML conversion is deterministic.
That doesn’t matter. Once the code is generated it doesn’t change. The reviewed artifact in a safety critical codebase is the last abstraction layer before a fully certified compilation pipeline. So usually it’s not the UML but the generated code.
