A teacher I know says it is easy to determine if a student wrote their paper if you interview them about it. You’re right that automated methods are risky.
That’s it. As a teacher who has been dealing with this in the last 2-3 years, the only reliable way I have found is to do short interviews.
Students hand in their work, I grade it, then I ask them verbally a few easy questions about what they mean in specific sections of their work. How they score on these questions is used as a coefficient that I apply on the grade to get the final score.
So they can use LLMs, but they have to understand its output.

Interviewing every student would take a lot of time.
