Having just recently interviewed at one of the FAANG for a role that I felt was really well suited for me experience-wise, it's not worth the stress. I study all the time already, simply to do my job and out of interest.

The average whiteboard interview nowadays doesn't reflect my day-to-day work and tests a narrow slice of my ability to solve problems. It also supremely fails to qualify people from non-traditional backgrounds.

Enough of the "we should be thankful there's such a low bar of entry - you just need to cram exercises". FAANG and many others externalize the burden of qualifying employees by relying on volume and setting the bar very high. Many are going to wear themselves down when the entire process is skewed against them.

So my advice - don't worry too much, you're probably a great candidate and it sounds like you've already done as much as you should to prepare.
