As long as runway length is not limiting, this is good news.
Regarding "float" w/no flaps: The flapless attitude should be "nose high" compared to what a pilot may be used to. However some pilots may fly attitude more than IAS, and adopt the more familiar nose low attitude, thus coming over the numbers faster than intended - with consequent float.
