> I would probably consider that a red flag
I would not. I would assume they want to work under people with experience in their field and learn from them.
The thing about your advice (and mine, and most all interview advice) is that it's mostly useless. It's only beneficial to people interviewing you, and if it's beneficial to them, it's bad for you. After all, if they would ask that question, but they know not to, they are still that person you would mistrust.
The reality is, people should ask these types of questions. If you wouldn't hire them because of that question, it's likely the would not enjoy working at your company.
There are other less direct ways to pose the question.

Why even ask it. My method is find the org chart depth with log_1.5(company size). Then divide that number by 1/2 execs, 1/2 managers. Guess the roles then go look at random people on linked-in. You can get a good feel for how the company is internally based on that.

It's easy enough to skip the question altogether and do a quick google search on the people with whom you would be working.
If someone asked that, I would probably consider that a red flag, that they are mistrustful of "business types" and probably difficult to work with.
