You can't take all the blame for that. I remember one of my fellow developer working extra hours to inflate his contribution, I was never asked by the team (directly of course ) to follow the trend. I rarely worked for extra hours and my work spoke for itself.
Also working extra doesn't make the workplace toxic in anyway. If you shout, conspire and play tricks, that can make the workplace toxic for sure.
Moreover - depending on your position you may work extra, but keep repeating to the rest of the team, that they don't need to do the same and you don't expect them to do that. AND if someone does it - give them some bonuses or promote them.

I would say you are lucky to have a great reporting managers, this is not the reality at most of the workplaces.

I will say no, dont encorage this, this is how it starts.
