Being an architect and being a developer that codes are two different jobs, and this should be more widely known. Your skills are still valuable, but the problem is that many companies don't separate architects from developers when hiring, and that's why they subject their potential architect hires to the same LeetCode coding stuff. So when you switch jobs, you might have fewer companies to choose from, or fail a few more interviews from companies that insist their architects can get down to the nitty-gritty details of coding. It's a choice you'll have to make.
