While I’ve personally not heard of this kind of interview process, I think it sounds like a fantastic way to be able to express your technical skills and your own writing style/ flavour.

While part of the idea in programming tasks in front of an interviewer is to observe your personal problem solving skills and thinking process, sometimes it can leave you feeling on the spot and under the pressure when conjuring ideas in front of the person deciding if you’re getting the job!

Perhaps a best of both is to accompany your take-home offline project with a report of how you came to your conclusions and why you made certain design choices!
