I was taught this too but I started with 2 notches and moved up to three as experience increased. I was always concious that excess rudder would kick in brake and was wary that severe application would snap the aircraft into a ground loop in the opposite direction. At least you could feel the brake coming on.

Unbelievable! You were taught to land with two notches, and with experience YOU INCREASED IT? Despite the fact you were aware that hitting brake WILL tend to cause a swerve the wrong way whe you run out of the brake-limited rudder travel?
Try it with no brake. Then, if you need brake, you pull it on while full rudder is already applied, and you get a nice smooth pull in the correct direction which does the job. Rather than jamming it on without choice as you run out of rudder and hit brake, you g-e-n-t-l-y pull with the little finger of you left hand to give just the brake you need.
Finesse is what will work. Let's start thinking this stuff through, instead of flying by rote. These grand old aeroplanes desrve nothing less!
