I'm now out of that particular currency.
All it takes for currency is $$$$$!

Amongst the long list is the Seneca 11. The props are precariously low to the ground.
Twins commonly have the main wheels centered under the bottom of the prop arcs, so as long as the nose is held up, you should contact the mainwheel before the prop is at risk. If you're close with the prop, you've probably got one main and the nosewheel on the ground at the same time, which is really bad in any type! That said, the bank angle necessary to slip a crosswind landing at the point of the flare would only be a couple of degrees, not wingtip on the runway type stuff. And, typically, twins with their higher stall speeds, also have higher crosswind velocity tolerance.
