I’ll prioritise the PAPIS (it’s a long runway anyway) and be above the GS.
Then you'll get a flogging from the FDAP manager for being unstable above the GS! Life's tough, and then there's grumpy captains!!

The main measure of success or otherwise: if you touch down in the touchdown zone with no big pushes or pulls, job done.

Remember, the reason that the PAPI is not at the 300m point with the ILS GS antenna is because the runway is long enough for long-bodies. Landing distance should normally not be an issue even if you flew down the PAPIs instead of the GS.
