Hello, I have made several batches of mead and I really enjoyed it. How much of a difference is there with mead vs cider?

Diastaticus is more of a concern for breweries if it gets into batches where it wasn't planned for and continues to lower the final gravity due to the introduction of glucoamylase. If the product is packaged to soon it will lead to very bad outcomes with bottle/cans blowing up.This has even caught some very large breweries (Left Hand vs. White Labs comes to mind) but has more often happened at smaller breweries in the last couple of years. Not a fun experience - I know from first hand experience.
