If you have got the aircraft to 50 feet safely without additives (by using the auto-throttle), then this would surely minimise the risk of over-runs associated with excess over the fence speed?
That's a big if.

Boeing also recommend that if a manually flown approach is made the auto-throttle should be switched off.
AT engaged, AP disengaged, gusty conditions is not a good place to be.
