I hope you are aware that one of the conditions of RTOW is landing weight limit. It is not a question of what you did or what is possible. RTOW Landing wt. Limited is legal limit for takeoff weight. What you did violates that. Just because you landed below max Landing weight it doesn't absolve that. Then why have this limit at all? Secondly why burn extra fuel just follow overweight landing procedure. It doesn't make any sence. At take off as long as your flight plan BO shows you are over landing weight it is violation. In landing weight limited scenario sometimes you don't burn contingency fuel and may end up overweight at destination. In that case you can burn that extra to land within max ldg wt it's ok.
