Yeah as an interviewer if the type-heavy solution wasn’t what I wanted to look at I would’ve asked the candidate to pretend like they don’t understand the type system and adjust the solution accordingly.
Actually though if they wanted to test for debugging ability, presenting some real code with defects would have worked a lot better than this.

Way better than FizzBuzz from scratch, best interview results I've seen come from giving a candidate a pre-made solution or architecture document that technically works but with glaring issues and just talking about their opinion on it, coding or pseudocoding optional for presenting solutions.
