I love the "what's your greatest weakness" question. It's pretty silly to interpret this as looking for something deeply personal. This is a professional context.
You should answer this question with your greatest weakness in the context of the interview. It's such a good opportunity! It's so awful feeling like an interview went great but stressing about something you didn't talk about - maybe your lack of experience or lack of degree. Whatever you're worried about that you didn't get to talk about. You get to actually talk about it and address it to the best of your ability.
It also looks great that you're talking about something real. Something you're nervous about. You are being honest and vulnerable.
It reflects incredibly well on you if you can be vulnerable and professional.
If I don't get the opportunity to answer a question like this in an interview, I'll use some of my question time (usually with the hiring manager) for it. Having the ability to anticipate and address a teammate's (interviewers) hard-to-discuss questions is such a strong, positive signal.
