This isn't the same as working WHILE expired; which many did for weeks and montths.

USCIS replied to my SR and confirmed approval/card production within 5 days. ELIS got back to me within 15 days. Same answer.

ALSO, if they wanna get technical. Those thay are under LOA while expired (without approval notices) are at risk too. Though they aren't working, they're still "in the books". My point is there's no room for technicality at this point because the delays and lags are something USCIS had admitted to. Employers get desperate and people have responsibilities that they can't afford to be technical. *micdrop*.

At this point, I wouldn't worry. I feel super blessed that my employer kept me on at their discretion and blessed that I have been notified of card production/approval. Many people kept working when they got approved 2-3 days before their expiration date WITHOUT a card for 2-3 weeks. Are they gonna get penalized for that? Highly doubt it.
