This issue was discussed three years ago. I had quoted an Airbus reply as below that should satisfy everyone:

I had asked Airbus why land in Conf3 in specific case of Hyd G+Y Fail when flaps are jammed slats have no 3 position? I quote from the reply from Airbus"

I agree with you that selection CONF 2 during approach, and maintainingCONF 2 for Go-Around could have been less misleading for the pilot.
But the rationale of selecting CONF 3 for A320 family aircraft ishistorical, as this configuration has been proved, in terms of certification,as being the optimum one in terms of handling qualities in alternate law.”
