The analysis isn't the best, but I don't think I have seen any rigorous testing on penalties elsewhere. Has anyone else looked at the penalty attribute and penalty success rate?
I examined GKs in particular, as GKs have no CA cost for it and some associated attributes. I did it months ago, so I can't recall the exact details now, but I can surmise that there was no significant difference at all.
The difference between all technicals (which includes all set pieces) except dribbling & finishing 1 vs 20 is negligible season position change. So there's no bonus hidden away in the results rather than the penalty % success rate either.
Having a rapid scroll through that thread trying to reach the bottom, I'd say his data is probably going to be at least as good as mine and you should probably believe what he concludes, which is that "the penalty taking attribute *might* have a very small impact on the outcome of a penalty".

I've done testing on penalty taking in FM24.
