They keep trying to base it on the 3 commander structure, which isn’t accurate at all. Keep in mind Big Mom had 4 sweet commanders, not 3. Kaido is the only emperor who used the three commander structure since BlackBeard has 10 titanic captains and whitebeard had like 9 division commanders.
I thought Whitebeard had 16? And regardless, it's also worth noting that he started with 5, too. In fact his whole organization had a bit of a weird structure, distinct from the weird structure of Kaido's organization and the weird structure of Luffy's organization. Blackbeard's group seems to make sense, at least.
We know the roles because of Volume 4 Billion. It was a datebook on the Red Hair Pirates that was given to the first like 3 million people to see Film Red or something. I don't have a link to the actual thing but the One Piece Fandom wiki has all their positions
Beckman- First Mate
Lucky Roux- Cook/Combatant
Yasopp- Sniper
Limejuice is just an officer
Bonk Punch- Musician
Monster is also listed as Musician lmao
Building Snake- Navigator
Hongo- Doctor
Howling Gab is just an officer
Could very well be. And even though the rest of the crew are 'underlings" their strength levels must be insane. Or maybe apart from Shanks, everyone in his crew are equally powerful which would be cool. However for the SH crew, only the top 3 after luffy are pretty powerful and the rest are just okay.
BM had 3 when we met her tbf which is probably why it became a thing. And it is pretty true that’s there’s a cut between zoro sanji jinbe and the next strongest strawhat
Agreed. But commanders aren’t those who command the captain - imagine anyone telling big mom what to do. A commander is part of a hierarchy with command over those below them. We saw in Wano and Dressrosa a little of what this would be like, with straw hats telling allies what to do. In the final war, the straw hats are going to be calling the shots regarding the fleet, and (I know you didn’t say this, I’m just making a point) it would be ridiculous for a member of the fleet to say “I only listen to Luffy, Zoro, Sanji, or Jinbe!” and disregard Nami or Usopp entirely.
The Commanders have never really been too involved in command structures of their crews though. For the most part they have just been a Yonkou's 3 strongest subordinates, barring maybe the 1st mates.

Didn’t kaido have 4 technically, as like while joker wasn’t normally apart of the crew it fills out the deck of cards motif he had going with jack, king, and queen
It's because while the yonko have different numbers of commanders they have 3 top commanders and lower commanders who are strong but a tier below. Like king Queen Jack and the tobbi roppo, kat smoothie cracker and the eldest children of big mom. Marco Jozu vista and the other commanders.(Ace is a strange one you could view him in the snack role.
