It's definitely an outdated term. Nowadays I personally use FAANG as an alias to "tech company in which employment is synonymous with status in the tech community"

Effectively Yes. I felt like I don't really need to clarify that this includes more than what the literal FAANG is to this audience haha.

But using it in such a sense lacks clarity. Would it better to say any "non-startup tech company"?

I would suggest "Fortune 500 Technology sector" but that captures a lot of companies that don't have an emphasis on software.
