That’s my strategy. Leave the notification there until I have to get to it

I would login to my phone to do something and it would dismiss my unread notifications from the lock screen. Never got into the habit of swiping down to check notifications as there isn’t any indicator like on Android. On Android I’ll keep a notification up until I get to it, so it’s always a reminder on my lock screen.

+1 switched from a Pixel 2 to iPhone 12 for a year and a half. Ultimately went back to Pixel because I was missing too many notifications
