I don't think anyone would dispute that an AoA sensor failure can have potential implications for any aircraft that's fitted with a stall-warning system, particularly where there's little or no redundancy.
Other than that obvious fact, I don't see any other common factors between the Cirrus events and the Max accidents, at least none that I would describe as "astonishingly similar".
