No...I was taken aback by the Accessibility caution "Allow the apps to control your computer". However, I have since tried Amadeus using Accessibility and it works fine.

I wasn't too worried about Full Disk Access because some trusted apps need it (e.g. Carbon Copy Cloner, Cookie, Onyx) so Amadeus wasn't a concern as I consider it a trusted app. However, I have since put it into Accessibility.

For my information.....which would you use and why?

My understanding is that Full Disk Access is far more permissive than Accessibility, the functionality of the former being described literally, while the latter merely gives apps access to specific functionality they need to access but can't because of sandboxing, so given an option, Accessibility would be my go-to.

Have you really got CCC and Cookie in Full Disk Access? I'm running both apps, and neither is in either Full Disk Access or Accessibility. As a matter of fact, I've got nothing in Full Disk Access. (Cookie appears to circumvent Accessibility by asking for access permission when you install it.)
