The FAA Airworthiness Directive (2018-23-51) can be found at the address below (pdf). There is no mention of manually disconnecting the AofA sensors. The addition to the Airplane Flight Manual required by the AD explicitly says "do the existing AFM Runaway Stabilizer procedure above, ensuring that the STAB TRIM CUTOUT are set to CUTOUT and stay in the CUTOUT position for the remainder of the flight."
While I don't think pilot training is the only issue, we can't assume a crash was the most probable outcome following from the failure of the AofA indicator in question.
