Having flown big Airbus, the fear seen when discussing the use of the rudder is sometimes irrational. The manuals say it is available for crosswind landings and engine failures but most crew think it is a one off input rather than an adaptable flight control. Obviously it is dumb to put a large input above approach speeds but the latest aircraft even protect dummies from doing this by reducing the rudder authority as speed increases.
I believe if you get a float in a large aircraft and the fuselage has been aligned too early, the only way to prevent lateral drift is with, as you say, the “subtle” use of rudder. Using aileron when the inner engine is on the runway edge is fraught with danger. Obviously if you are going to miss the TDZ, go around and have another go but a squeeze of rudder to prevent drift is eminently sensible.
All that said it is madness to try and coordinate turns when there is a decent flight control computer between the stick and control surfaces.
