This issue and the proposed solution led to deletion of all synced data on connected desktop and especially local availalbe data on mobile clients,

Luckily the data on the server were not deleted (as war as I can see). Probably these get only removed I the app itself is removed. So I just had to re-sync some 150GB and those off-line have not been affected.
Describe the solution you'd like
The disable operation should at least issue a warning, that this will lead to loss of synced client data.
Describe alternatives you've considered
This was proposed - but obviously only valid for this special case.

It was a NC-Service provider which took this action as the update of the group folder app made the NC server in accessible.

Additional context

You mean when the groupfolders app is disabled? I don't think there is a way to show a warning when this happens, but as with any app it should be obvious to the admin that disabling/removing them has side effects.
Maybe a general warning about this should be shown when any app is disabled/removed, but that is nothing for Groupfolders. Please open an issue in server to request such a warning to be shown.
sorry - it should be mentioned in the group folder admin page "do you want to disable and all synced groupfolders on clients will be deleted", the server does, what it should do
