Great article! Two solutions I have found which work. Research assignments which can be copied are followed by tests on the same topic. Copiers are quickly exposed. Training students using LLMs blooms higher levels. Lastly making sure assessments incorporate synthetic and unfamiliar or novel problems which require cognitive transfer. Where LLMs may not always help. These all test understanding and hence reliance on LLMs on their own will not help

Much agreed, especially on cognitive transfer, since as you said it's where LLMs will probably be the least helpful. Good teachers should be able to come up with solutions along the lines you mentioned fairly quickly, and this will effectively weed out the copiers.
