I work a lot in Premiere / After Effects / Photoshop. For me it would be incredible difficult and time consuming to change my workflow. Wouldn’t be impossible, but I would need to spend lot of time learning new tools until I would get to the same work speed. Plus it would be much more expensive. Am I concerned regarding this claim? Not really. I think the chances of being hacked are higher then Adobe doing something nasty with any of the projects they might have access to.

Hacked ? They are saying they can access your content (I’m assuming cloud though won’t be surprised if they also have remote access enabled by default) can be accessed by them anytime they want. Yes adobe can access the next pixar film being made when they desire to take a peek.
I am sure when you work on projects for Pixar, they are more strict regarding this kind of things, but I am not in that position, so why to worry?
Your next employer might be an informed one and require you to use different tooling. Your employer might find some info or data has leaked and trace it back to you. Either thei are informed about this Adobe stuff or perhaps they will claim you violated your NDA. All kinds of bad scenarios can spring up from this.
First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a socialist.

Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a trade unionist.

Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—because I was not a Jew.

Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.

consider the chances of you getting sued by your clients that you have signed an NDA with. the only realistic option is to seek an amendment to the agreement.
NDAs are not the only problem. Adobe Acrobat is used to work on a whole host of documents that may be straight up illegal to share.
The agreement now should include such scenarios. But then again a good lawyer probably already knows incidences and probably has rock solid agreements that cover this.
