I tried to be like this, but consistency went out the door during COVID and daycare shutdown days when both of us also had to work.

The only detrimental effect I can think of is your kids not being accustomed to regulating their own behavior as they grow older (like say, turning 18 and going off to college if you don’t loosen the control before hand). But that is a normal parenting problem.
