Learning, understanding, about what we don't know

do you think that this was a 'safety event'?

I cannot tell.

Attempting to analyse this landing based on a narrow perspective of one video without supporting information would have little value (excepting Pprune discussion), and at worst with poor assessment result in unnecessary, even detrimental intervention.

Considering the idea of a ‘safety event’ (after the fact) in ‘very-safe’ operations might also create more problems. How is an event defined, bounded, what limits, when, etc, … by who.
With increasing safety - statistically, then the risk in an event might be less than the risk discovered (imagined) by investigation - the ‘investigators’ are the higher risk - cf the discussion in this thread.

Then what is Safety ?
Something which is done, a continuous activity; or something to have, a limiting standard.
My preference is activity, self evaluation; thus all of my flying, approach and landings, were safety events, but with what risk, and who knows.
