If I pull a wedge and the tee box is in good shape I'll just set the ball on the grass. My home course has a 100 yd par 3 and I punch a nice little SW off the deck and put it near the hole (almost) every time. Everything else gets a tee.

everything stays the same as if you were hitting it off the ground.

Jack Nicklaus said "I always felt that air had less resistance than dirt. What puzzles me is when players take a tee, jam it all the way in the ground and then put the ball on top of it. Why is the tee there? You have the opportunity on a par 3 to tee it up, so why not take advantage of that and give yourself the best lie possible."

If it's good enough for Jack, it's good enough for me!

I don't change anything. I set up the same, swing the same. It just gives me a larger margin of error.

for me, i push the tee down till the edges are the same level as the ground. I doubt i would have issue with using no tee, i just like the consistency.

But when I'm counting it, I definitely tee it up.  7 iron on down, the ball is just barely above the grass, but it's still on a tee.  And I try to use broken ones sitting around since I know they'll get broken anyway, but I'll never pass up the opportunity.
