Two things: 1) Generally, a judge will accept any terms that the parties believe are fair. 2) There are two ways a case can proceed if you don't file a Response: a) Default - this means that your wife would complete the divorce without your involvement, including attending a brief hearing in several weeks to have the judge enter the divorce based on the terms listed in the Petition; or b) Consent - this means that you and your wife both sign final divorce papers and submit them to the judge to sign and finalize the case (no hearing). Having a case go by default could affect your rights going forward; if you have reached full agreements, I would recommend submitting a Consent Decree (you can do this even if you haven't filed a Response, but you will still have to pay the filing fee for the Response)
