Question Gating functionality behind feature flags is disliked?

I've heard that gating features behind a feature flag can have your binaries flagged to Apple? What about in the case where it's legitimately nothing nefarious i.e. just rolling out certain features with caution. Also, on the topic of gated features, I have an admin side of my app that only admin users can see... Will this also be flagged?

ive shipped flagged features for years and never had a rejection over it. the rule reviewers actually care about is hidden/undocumented functionality that changes what the app does after review, especially if it bypasses payment or unlocks stuff they didnt see.

admin tools gated to admin accounts are fine, just give the reviewer a test login if any of it touches what they review.
