I see recommendations to use haunched tenons for table apron/leg joinery, but in several articles I don’t see anyone using them.
Here is no haunch and only a 7/8” tenon which is pegged.

I am making this desk (essentially) for my son to use in graduate school (probably mostly for computer gaming). Quick slap together out of poplar. Aprons are 3 3/8” wide. The 3/8” thick tenon will only be 5/16” from edge of leg - 1/8” reveal + 3/16 shoulder. Does the haunch really add strength?
Haunch or no haunch?
Thanks, Gary
