> My advice would be to not overthink it. Just ask the questions that are genuinely important to you, and don't try to focus on impressing your interviewer.

I agree with this, except in one sense that I think lends to the point of the blog post.

The questions you ask can drive perception of how you might act as an employee. On more than one occasion I have asked a question about X at an interview and then had a subsequent conversation with a recruiter where they ask "is [something related to X] a concern for you?"

I've not ever had one discontinue me due to it but it shows what's coming up in conversation at the interview debriefs.
