The lesson on professions and pronouns says that when an adjective is used a pronoun is needed.
So would : "Catherine, une ancienne prof de philo"
be acceptable

Bonjour Ian,
That's an excellent point!
However, here, the person talking is stating Catherine's former profession but is not using "être" - which would indeed require the use of the indefinite article. Here, there's a comma instead.
Anne, ancienne infirmière, nous parle de sa carrière = Anne, a former nurse, is telling us about her career history
I hope this is helpful.
Bonne journée !
