Landing a simulator is very different from landing the real aircraft, so there is no point in using sim time for this.

The way to protect from the errors that cause overruns is to have SOPs for being stabilized on approach, and mandatory missed approach if not stablized. Then you need the company culture to actually follow the SOPs in place, and for copilots to speak up and captains to listen to copilot inputs. Changing the company culture takes a lot more than a few hours in the sim, and sadly that is where the real problems lie.
