We use this in Hackerrank for workflows for frontend/backend candidates. Theia is a great web IDE, specially with it's LSP based autocomplete, and VSCode compatibility.

You can try out this demo I put up: http://hr.gs/theia-demo

When in the test, click on the top right: "Use the online Web-IDE" option to see it. It'll be open for 20 minute sessions for the next day. If you see an "cannot provision" error, it may be the rate limiter, so try post a couple minutes.

I've recently used it in HackerRank. It's a good idea but turning off autocomplete didn't work for me and was super annoying.
Could you share a demo link where you are not forced to signup?
It's something I quickly put together to showcase what's possible with Theia, given we're actively using them. I'm not sure how to enable what you asked.

Youtube also has a few theia videos which could give you a similar idea on the experience.
