Pacing relative to your party's resources, you can have a long rest party with no issues assuming they PCs pace themselves appropriately (i.e. they're not walking into the final combat of the day relying on cantrips and basic attacks),

Let's be honest, pcs do that every single time.
And don't forget having a bunch of characters at half hit points.

After the last 3 "final bosses" our dm was like.
"You know you were supposed to take a rest
Before that fight eh?"
But between the would be hero paladin and the hot blooded barbarian we very often wing it.
