they didn't make a treaty to accept Russian annexion of the Krim in return for stability in the rest of Ukraine. That might have prevented the mess we have at the moment.

Accept an annexation in return for promises of stability? Hmm, reminds me of something...

That's partly the point, we didn't go that route and now have the mess we have at the moment.

Making decisions because on a single data point is not good policy.

Also the alternative to the Munich agreements would have been to start WWII earlier. That might have had advantages but it would still have been very messy.
