Apart from the N1 restriction more than idle is not used because it does not add that much the stopping effort. We only had to use it in case of contaminated runways.
As for stowing the reversers, pulling both reversers is the backup for liftdumper activation on the Fokker, and you certainly don't want those barn doors sticking out when evacuating.
If it's almost never wet there, I'd assume a bit of rain after a long dry spell would result in extra slippery conditions.
