Anecdotal but over the past 20 years I've held about eight different positions in various companies as a software engineer, and I've never even so much as glanced at leetcode. I've been able to live comfortably and put plenty away for the future with 150 to 200K salary.
I feel like companies that emphasize interviews prioritizing rote memorization aren't going to be a good culture fit for me anyway.
