Have not every post on this long thread.
My thoughts (and actions in the cockpit) is that a short runway,
tailwind, or wet runway require vigilance. Having two of these together requires an extra amount of vigilance and thoughts of holding or diverting,
All three, is realistically something you don't want to subject yourself, crew and pax to. A 5800 foot runway with numbers that give just a margin of just a couple of hundred meters is unacceptable.
Heavy rain may mean that the braking action and reported winds are incorrect.
Don't know all the facts in this case, but everything reported does not seem to point to landing in these conditions.
