I think it's bad that they are essentially publishing whether an employee opted for additional stock or additional cash. Should it be a red flag that the CTO turned down stock in favor of more cash?

Why should it be a red flag?

Statistically speaking, you're more likely to make more money by getting a bigger salary now instead of a big payday that may never happen. Statistically, very very few companies will be large enough for employees to cash out.
