100%. if properly trained, interviewers ask questions that build without throwing the kitchen sink at you. whiteboard interviews (when done holistically) assess for signal, not binary correctness - do you have a solid framework to build a solution? - are you considering multiple approaches / data structures / complexities - referencing similar problems, vocabulary, situations to illustrate breadth of knowledge sure, the stress component isn't ideal, but there are multiple relevant capabilities being assessed in a very short amount of time... in other words it's a much better test of tacit knowledge than alternatives
