I drop the gear at 4.5 (with flap following when gear down) and then manage speed at 4 (as requested). Always configured by 1000’ aal and usually within Vapp +10 but as stated by some others in our company with 30kts is fine so long as you have Vapp by 500 RA. Yes it’s busy but perfectly manageable if youv’e discussed it beforehand.
If there’s a tailwind then i’ll tell ATC and ask to slow down earlier. They’ve always been accommodating and would prefer that to someone doing so of their own volition, which seems to be the case a lot when you look at the stats
