Landing the 737 fully crabbed

I just transitioned from a larger jet to the 737 and one of the things I noticed is that it is not recommended to perform sideslip only (zero crab) landings in strong crosswinds. According to the FCTM however, the airplane can land using crab only (zero sideslip) up to maximum crosswind.

Being used to landing sideslip only (full decrab during the flare) I'm not sure how to tackle this. Some recommend a partial decrab, but this feels very unnatural to me. A fully crabbed landing on the other hand does not sound very comfortable to me.

So are there any 737 drivers who land it fully crabbed in strong crosswinds? How does that work out? Very curious!
