MODERATORS
Actually if you cannot be replaced, you're less likely to be promoted. How could they move you from your crucial work. You also show leadership by upskilling and building a team that is stronger and independent. If you can do that in a small team, you can do that at a larger scale.
If a company operates different, they're broken.
Don't let insecurity push you to sacrifice your integrity, you'll hate yourself more.
