The interview the post describes actually sounds like a good format for me, but I do have some problems adjacent to the ones you mention.
As someone who struggles with ~parallelizing some tasks (especially when anxious), it would be great to have an up-front check in about how comfortable I am with the format of any technical ~challenge. (And even better to discover there's some wiggle room to accommodate.)
For example, I find it very difficult to code my way through a problem and narrate what I'm doing and take feedback while I know I'm being evaluated and the clock's ticking. If the interviewer says something important in the middle of this, I often have to put down any plates I've managed to get spinning (and maybe go offload some adrenaline) and then ask them to repeat before I can even parse the words they said, let alone figure out how they apply to the problem.
