Agree that LeetCode style questions aren't the best way to interview candidates but with "infrastructure as code" ruling DevOps shouldn't your Ops people also be expected to code? Does not seem to be an unreasonable assumption.
What does concern about some DevOps interviews is the sheer level of knowledge some companies expect up front. I brushed on everything from the Linux kernel, ops techniques, distributed systems and programming to prepare for an Ops interview.

This is like asking a programmer about deep security questions related to ssl or the details of the latest kernel bug or spectre. It is good to know those for a programmer but it is a poor signal for the job at hand. Light on my front porch might illuminate my backyard, but nobody chooses a bulb on that basis. I would use another light for my backyard.
