I've actually noticed this in some websites the past ~two months. It's neat to have a captcha that finally doesn't need slowly clicking images to pass through.

I'm curious how easy it would be to bypass with significant volume though?

Like a few requests might get through but it would get fairly easy to detect dozens of requests from the same bot i think?

It's also doing some "light" proof of work - this would be a PITA if you were trying a bot net attack or something.
