Yes I crab into the wind on approach then straighten up with rudder just before touch down.
But in severe conditions there is a danger of drifting off the centre line at that moment so slightly dropping a wing into wind keeps me in line and I counter any turn deveoping by the wing down squeezing in some rudder (crossed controls).
When done correctly the rudder action is a smooth operation from straightening up to following through to counter the wing drop.
I don't think we are far apart on this one...(-:
I do put more speed on in severe conditions and use less flap.
How does everyone decide how much flap to use?
