Thanks! Here's a version that deals with at least one of your caveats:
(defun ndk/checkbox-list-complete ()
(save-excursion
(org-back-to-heading t)
(when looking-at (concat
"^\\*+[ \t]+"
org-todo-regexp ;; first match group here
"[ \t].*\\[" "\\(100%\\)\\|[0-9]+%"
"\\|" "\\([0-9]+\\)" "/" "\\([0-9]+\\)" "\\]")
(if (or (match-string 2)
(and (match-string 3)
(equal (match-string 3) (match-string 4))))
(org-todo 'done)
(org-todo 'todo)))))
