I got rid of all late penalties right before covid. Now the only rule is if you want comments on late work you have to let me know, otherwise I just grade it.
With a similar policy I find at least half submit on time, with another 1/4 in the 48 hrs after something is due. The final 4tb is all over.
Since I can't grade all instantly, the trickle more or less works, I spend my Saturday and Sunday grading as many as I get, then the rest come when they do.
Yeah it's averaged over two sections, so that helps too. If it's just one, the swings can be greater of course. Some students have more important classes or things in their life. Why be so egotistical as to penalize it.
I do make it clear that the final grade deadline matters bc I can't miss my deadline to the uni. So it's not like work can be delayed indefinitely. Plus a lot of them want to get on to the next assignment, etc.
I'm an absolute piggy for tests because my specific brain problems make me really good at them and really bad at every other area of school. Doing them so much in high school really didn't set me up well at all for college.

I don’t want to study for a test, I want to learn
Edit: I was the asshole who liked essay tests because you don’t have to memorize shit just convey that you understand the concept
