While this certainly sounds like reasonable criteria for rating a take home, does this truly account for general candidate reluctance to do take homes due to the time commitment? Even 2-4 hours is more time than conventional Leetcode-style initial assessments, and many may rather use that time to interview with 2-4 companies instead of just one.
I recently interviewed with Ramp and enjoyed their model of practical problems, like a take home, but condensed into just one hour with less of the end-to-end expectations of a true take home.
