What is worrying about that? In commercial aviation the concept of a "stabilized approach" has been in use since 60 (!) years. If your approach is not stable at a specific height above the threshold (i.e. you must be on centreline and glidepath, configured for landing and flying at Vref +/- a set margin) you have to go around. Continuing an unstable approach is not only negligent but constitues a violation with all possible consequences, especially in case of an accident or incident.
Flying according this concept is not beyond the capabilities of a recreational pilot, and every flying school for which I have been instructing during the past 30 years has implemented this concept to some degree. Here is an excellent writeup from IATA regarding this subject:
