No, in my experience it's the exact opposite. Most people in white collar professional jobs know that their jobs are bullshit or far easier than people think, and they're just waiting for the metaphorical curtain call.
People who claim to have "imposter syndrome" are just telling you that they are Dunning-Kruger cases a lot of the time. They think they're important because a title or piece of paper says so, but they are actually really, really dumb if they think a prestigious job is actually hard. Or they're just lying to you to discourage you from finding out the ruse.
