It's probably a bit of a red flag. Depending on the circumstances of your departure, I'd consider including them anyway. From what I remember, they can't legally disclose much about you or the work you did while you were there. I think they can only confirm your employment and how you left (voluntarily or termination). If you left of your own accord, I think you'd be safe, but again, I don't know that for sure. Hoping someone else can chime in to confirm or deny this.
It's probably not anything to worry about. A lot of times employers don't even call the references. So if you refuse to provide them it's a problem, but if you provide them they may not matter. And it's true that most companies won't say much about someone for various legal reasons. So the risk of getting a bad reference isn't great.
