Agreed. I think the data structures part of an interview doesn’t require a whiteboard coding puzzle. If someone knows what a graph is and can describe a well-known graph algorithm like Dijkstra’s or topological sort, that’s more than enough to know what the person knows. Mere coding ability is easily tested with fizzbuzz-like problems.
