Right there with you; we do take home tests. It's all about the expectation. We outline out front what we're looking for (logical code separation, FP-inspired, sound code), and what would be nice to see (testing etc.)
Mostly, we want to see how well the developer can explain their decisions throughout the process. Maybe they made a shitty decision. If they know it, and explain why it was shitty, that's a pass.
When I joined the company, the exercise took me about 3-4 hours. I don't think that's a ton to ask, especially if you make the onsite interview less intensive (which we do).
