It might depend on the gap between you and the others on the team. If the gap is small enough that they can keep up most of the time, learn with/from you and, most importantly, listen to you seriously when you give suggestions or point out problems, then it could probably work out. If the gap is big enough that they don't recognize good suggestions or important concerns from you when you bring it up, definitely stay away.
The above suggestion is partly based on my personal experience of working with a team where the two main leaders weren't the smartest in what they were trying to do (building the organizational structure of a growing business), which happened to be my forte since it's what I love to understand and study. As time went by, there were increasing problems with getting sales and building the business, which I felt were directly related with how we structured how people worked together.
I raised and pinpointed several issues more than a few times, and even had a two-hour face-to-face session where I had the chance to strongly emphasize the importance of the problems and had outlined steps to solving them. While they would listen to me out of consideration, they had their own assumptions about how the issues should be addressed and none of my suggestions were implemented. I eventually left in about a month, and most of the consequences I predicted came true so that they're having a much harder time than they need to.
