No. You can represent people in fiction without being racist.
I've never really liked Ravenloft partly because the Vistani are a bad stereotype.
They certainly aren’t Romani, but it would be asinine to pretend they aren’t based on them, and any depiction of the Vistani that hopes not to run afoul of racist tropes against them would do well to consult actual Romani to help with the writing and development.
I don't think you can fix the Vistani in terms of a purity test.
Any Romani hired would just be that individuals opinion.
Gothic horror as a genre hasn't aged well. I never liked it to begin with so there's also that.
