I ignored some seriously bad reviews on my employer and took the job anyways for the pay increase. Needless to say those people weren’t lying 😭😂

Where there is smoke, usually there is a fire. Also, take note. My previous employer hides behind disparagement clauses, and has their own recruiters post glowing reviews. A 5 in Glassdoor can be an actual 5 in the rare case, down to a 1 in a non-trivial number of cases.
A common practice nowadays is for people to call previous employees, especially when they interview for someone they are replacing. You can do this by contacting them on LinkedIn.
I wouldn't even interview with this 1.0 company, but if you like to set your hair on fire and watch it burn, at least have an extinguisher handy, that is, yes, bring the reviews up.
Asking about company/department culture is expected. It demonstrates your interest in making sure the position is a good fit for you as well as the company.
I would definitely ask. And as an interviewer, I would not at all be thrown off by the question. In fact, I would have more respect for the candidate that does ask.
