I did most of a humanities degree in the early- to mid-'00s and the only courses that relied heavily on long-form out-of-class writing exercises for grades were in the actual language departments (English, foreign languages).
The rest were big on the occasional short quiz in-class to check understanding, and periodic "bluebook" exams that involved writing the equivalent of perhaps 3-5 total pages of typewritten material, by hand, in one class period, in person, in response to perhaps a half-dozen prompts. Basically a series of short, to-the-point essays. Not a ton of outside-of-class paper composition. I doubt they'd have trouble adjusting to remove those all but entirely.
