Except Intruder, with a light cross/tailwind - then it just sits on the ILS all the way.

In short, do not try to "defeat" the wake turbulence down the glide path, only to find the problem at the slowest most critical point - as you reach the runway.

If you want to defeat it properly, then do so... but this means you must identify where the aircraft ahead has "de-rotated" (may be well after actual touchdown point), and then allow from there for the wind. This will lead you to land well in from the threshold, which may not be appreciated by the airport operator / your company etc.
