How do you deal with very high performing report that carries team not wanting to work with a woman?

I run a team of around 5 people. The current team make up is Me (Indian, Male) A (Indian, Male) B (White, Male) C (Indian, Male) D (East Asian, Male) E (Hispanic, Male) The team dynamic is that A essentially does all the work (by far), is extremely smart technically (comes up with very clever solutions), and lets everyone on the team take in the spoils and take credit to make it seem balanced. He works around 80 hours a week. Me and A have a very candid and personal relationship and A is OK with the situation and likes to be seen as the silent hero. A has been with the company for 5 years and isn’t going anywhere. B,D,E are fairly normal/average engineers, and C is probably the worst performing, but that doesn’t really matter since A outpaces them by a mile. C has indicated recently wanting to leave as well (retire/FIRE), and I am hiring C’s backfill. Our peer teams all have to work 60 hrs/week, however, thanks to A the rest of us get to have a decent WLB at 30 hrs/week. B,D,E have all (maybe jokingly) indicated they would likely leave for better WLB if A wasn’t around. Anyways, we recently finished final rounds. There are two main people, one is a white woman (G) who I’d classify as doing well in the interview. Then, there is an Indian male (H) who I’d say is barely lean hire. It seems like the obvious choice, however, A has candidly confided to me that he will never work with a woman, and will likely either leave the company or scale back work and contributions significantly. Hiring H would keep the current team dynamics similar as H would likely be similar performance to C. Hiring G would mean a whole lot of work for the rest of us and maybe my team falling apart. I highly doubt A will be switching companies anytime soon unless it’s because of G. G is good but no way compares to A. How would you handle this? I could obviously go ahead with hiring G, report A to HR/let him quit. I can get away with justifying either hire to my manager for reference, and my own manager isn’t super aware of the dynamics of A doing all the work (as A lets the credit be distributed). A has no prior issues with working with minority groups on our team or women on other teams, just when it’s directly on his team for reference. I do have a moral issue with rejecting G on this basis and believe this may cause issues in the future with A. BTW, what A said was not in writing, and there is no evidence. TC 470
