I might be a masochist, but I actually enjoy system design interviews and they're quite formulaic. Resources like "System design in a hurry" are great for narrowing down the formula. Where I live (BC, Canada) actually has a law requiring all employers to list the position's salary range, which is great for cutting down on the "expected salary expectations" dance. I don't like take homes as it's (highly likely) a one way time commitment and if you're truly looking to show off your skills it would take you hours.

Washington State (where this company is based) has the same law about including salary ranges in job postings

If the system design interview is designed in a sane manner, which most of them are, thankfully for now. Unfortunately, some interviewers ask questions that they themselves have not thought through properly, which leads to "interesting" discussions followed by a disqualification. While I've not had to face that issue first-hand as an interviewee, I've seen interviewers who wouldn't have been able to pass their own interview, for example.
