Well, there is

ls -d -- (*/)##file~*/*/*

(a corrected version of the one I suggested in my related
zsh-workers thread at
https://www.zsh.org/mla/workers/2019/msg00501.html).

But I wouldn't call it "a solution".

That works because (*/)## doesn't follow symlinks, but obviously
that means crawling the whole directory tree while we only care
for depth 1.
