I like take-home as a filter for candidate from institutions that have low signal to noise ratio (getting hundreds of applicants from "some technical institute" and then have a sub 5% hire rate).
But I know from college applicants that take-home end up at the bottom of the pile in terms of priority vs in-person interview with a real engineer. Unless it's FAANG of course.
