Hiring manager here. Top-tier candidates do this all the time.

The alternative is to have them take time off of their dayjob and travel on-site for technical interviews.

In the real world, candidates are greatly appreciative of take-home assignments that let them work in the comfort of their own home, on their own equipment, at times that work best for them.

I'd be very worried about a paid assignment conflicting with clauses in my current contract.

Giving somebody a ~1 day takehome assignment, sure. But you aren't going to be able to actually do any real work in this amount of time.
