Interesting take home assignment with lots of ways to solve it + technical conversation about the code + checking things like README + deployment steps and whether it even runs or not, I believe, would be very sufficient.

The idea anyway is to find someone capable for solving problems with a specific tech stack, be able to discuss ideas with other people amicably and write decent code.

To me removing the tools which can and are actually using during the job is like asking someone to write flawless code on paper: is that what you are trying to filter for?
