My problem with LC-style questions is that it becomes a race to the bottom.
At some point, you end up with questions that either lucky people or savants are able to answer. Yes, that might be an exaggeration, but it's not too far off the mark.
Applicants discovered, long ago, that if you simply grind every questions on LC - you will likely get asked some of those questions wherever you interview.
Companies fight back by asking harder questions. Before you know it, a standard interview consists of LC hard questions.
And with the advent of LLMs, it is even harder to sniff out candidates if the interviews are remote.
At some point you'll just have to re-do the whole process, and built it up from scratch.
