If the banks are capable to pay out all the deposits to the people, who want to withdraw them, there's nothing to worry about.
The real problem will appear, when the banks don't have any money to pay their depositors. It seems that First Republic Bank is handling the situation very well. It's normal for the banks to start facing difficulties. The interest rate hikes are intended to drive the financial sector into stagnation. This will lower the inflation and the economy will stop depending on the money printing machine(at least for a while).
The key word here is "if". The very architecture of the modern banking system is such that not a single bank in the world can withstand the "raid of depositors." Typically, banks' reserve requirements for equity capital do not exceed 10-15% (and this is an optimistic estimate). No one knows how many paper unrealized losses that arose after a sharp rise in the key rate are in reality on the balance sheets.

On Tuesday the First Republic Bank  experienced a collapse in their shares due to depositors withdrawing more than $100bn and with the current condition many investors and analysts express fear of an impending collapse of the bank. Although as a recovery plan, the bank plans on selling off some of it's unprofitable assets and also laying off many of it's work force.

First Republic’s stock closed down nearly 50 percent on Tuesday, after the San Francisco-based lender disclosed that it lost 40 percent of its deposits in the first quarter as the banking sector suffered its biggest crisis of confidence since the 2007-2008 financial crash. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.aljazeera.com/amp/economy/2023/4/26/first-republic-shares-hit-record-low-after-depositors-pull-100bn
.

With economic crisis facing the world, the banking sector isn't left out and since has been facing different financial crisis forcing some banks to merge in order to be able to continually stay in business, while some others hqs been forced to close down.

Ho vulnerable the banks are becoming in their shares due to the economic crisis plunging the world economy, and I fear the situation may grow worse and contiguous as today it's First Republic Bank, tomorrow which other will it be.
