i DO trust the experts, people who have spent considerable time and effort to become proficient in their field of expertise.
are they infallible? of course not.
do they know more than some lunatic farmer about infectious disease? fuck yes.
do you personally vet out your doctor, dentist, mechanic etc? do you trust that whoever designed and built that bridge you drive over are enough of an expert that you feel safe? how do you get through life being so self-sufficient?

Yes.
I would add that a significant part of good leadership is knowing how to identify, test, challenge, synthesize and apply expertise without being an expert in everything.

Really depends on the goal of "leadership", doesn't it? I'm finding that the goal of leadership in my workplace organization is misplaced towards profit above all. That is often at odds with compassion, and compassion will carry you a LONG fucking way in my field. But it is not always amenable to expanding the bottom line.

The goal of leadership is to motivate and guide an often disparate team to achieve the organization’s goals. Communicating those goals and obtaining buy in of them are related leadership skills. Either you are an outlier in your organization or your boss[es] is not a good leader.
