I've done it probably 20 times in my aircraft and can get away with 280 ft, with a 90 degree crosswind up to about 5 knots. Once those wind figures change, it all goes pear-shaped.

Certainly not for the beginner and certainly not for the experienced when operating beyond known and tested figures. If I added a passenger I'd have to add close to 100ft. If you are going to do it, it would need to be a sizeable margin to be sure you could do it every time, be at the top of your flying game, be well practiced and be alsolutety ready to action on a shutdown.
