I like it. However, I have had an interviewer at a "top chicago tech place" (roll your eyes on that one) He basically did an inperson imitation of leetcode. Say problem, look at you. Don't give help when asked, stay emotionless.

Very intriguing idea. I’m thinking about how logistically this could actually work. It would build a sense of camaraderie as well.
It's a technical job, it must be a collaborative effort in finding solutions! Aren't we looking for a team member, not a lone-ninja.
Sure, the candidate has to be more vested in advancing the process, but the fact that there's no known-ahead answer would potentially surface not only technical skills, but also personal ones, and ... at both ends of the table.
Not to mention, the "house-experts" could find such sessions stimulating, to say the least... Imagine, you get back to your desk after interviewing a candidate, and your team mates ask you "so what was the tech problem this time?", "could you crack it?", "did he/she crack it?".
