I work in a commercial RAS, very similar to AAQ's. I can assure you disease is always a risk, the technology is only as good as the managment/staff and associated fish husbandry. The fact that water is recirculated through all grow out tanks (stocked very highly, around 200kg fish per 1000L water) creates a situation where disease/parasites can spread through the entire farm in a matter of days, i've seen it happen, and that's with a a multimillion dollar facility, with very sophisticted water treatment system.
Prove me wrong with feed if you like with some data, but the main ingredient in the pellets will be fishmeal, they may have developed way to manufacture the pellets cheaper, but if fishmeal prices continue on the upward trend, as is expected, the cost to manufacture the feed they use will also increase. I suggest you read this article for more info.

Please dont take offence at my comments, i'm just stating plain facts that the industry is aware of, including AAQ.
