Extremely difficult to enforce, depending on the nature of the designs. Cf. the Waymo case for an example of an easier-than-average, but still difficult, case to enforce.

Agreed. It's all a negotiation, though, and from the perspective of the employee you're going to want to present the confidentiality agreement (and possibly a term-of-employment noncompete) as sufficient to ensure your loyalty. You should under no circumstances agree to anything that restricts your options after term of employment.
