I have literally never seen a PC portray a flaw in order to earn Inspiration, in nine years of playing and running 5e, so I honestly don't know how I would react.Great. Would it bother you that a player's decision to eat that fruit was based on wanting to earn Inspiration for portraying a flaw? That's certainly a "metagame" consideration.
If that doesn't bother you, what do you think the difference is between not eating the fruit due to seeing someone need to make a saving throw versus eating the fruit so you can earn Inspiration? The former is avoiding potential danger and the latter is trying to earn a resource.
In a more narrative-focused game, were I to run such a thing, I likely would not have the same reaction as I would in D&D, since concerns out the setting are part of the design to my understanding.
