That does seem to be the case here.

There really aren't tasks of that nature where I work.

We also have a policy of ensuring that we have no single point of failure when it comes to technical or institutional knowledge. Our tech work community is really good at ensuring that we keep others in the loop and document everything.

Non-management positions are subject to a union collective agreement. The money is good mind you but there are no raises outside the pay grids.

Yes. I'm currently a team lead, train or tutor more junior techies and have had great performance reviews.

I have also taken the company recommended leadership courses.
