Could you indicate it through your choice of interview questions?

Things like, "How do you feel about stretching your skills in the work force?" "What do you do when you make a mistake at work?" "How do you handle a situation where you feel out of your depth?" Etc.?

I know I would take that as a signal not to go for it if I wanted to retain stability in my life.

That's a great thought; however, we most often discover the conflict during the hiring debrief when we have mixed feedback on a candidate leaving the candidate "on the bubble".

It does give me some ideas to consider when we extend the offer (as @Jach's sibling comment also suggests).
