if anyone ends up in a leadership role, your job is to remove obstacles from your workers, avoid people from interfering with your workers (...)

Meaning: stop other "leaders" from ever coming remotely near your people.

yes, but if your person is specialised to the point where they would be able to resolve the matter best, let them have the cross discipline/personal leadership to be a representative of your team/project to allow them to grow.

Ideally, yes. But it's not just on the person, it's on the entire organisation to utilize that person best.

If everyone starts asking the senior engineer to fill potholes, because he does it so neatly, a manager should definitely start telling everyone they can request the senior engineers time through the manager.

But if everyone acts like a professional and considers the whole structure, instead of just themselves, then people can manage themselves just fine.
