The fact that a SWE with decades of experience needs "practice" to pass leetcode indicates two things: 1. Leetcode challenges aren't representative of the actual work. Or else years of shipping working software should be as good a practice as one needs. So is it sufficient grounds for rejecting a candidate? 2. Those who pass leetcode challenges need not have any real experience as long as they can commit to few hours to practice the toy problems. So is it a good criteria for passing the candidate to the next level, given others who were rejected on leetcode basis?
