It would be interesting to see this implemented as an experiment.

On the one hand, I'm not expecting high signal from this because it's not standardized - too many external variables you can't control. It would also be pretty hard to evaluate as "just watching the path of struggle" is very subjective.

On the other hand, potential "public good" benefit can't be ignored, plus it can be added to interviewees' public resume/github account to be shown to the future employers.

Being able to regurgitate a memorized dynamic programming solution during an interview is already a pretty subjective signal which does not take into account the candidate's history or experience. I personally think that the real signal leetcode style interview provides is confirming that the candidate has a good work ethic and sticktuitiveness.
