Zero slip will approximate minimum drag and is achieved with a few degrees into the operating engines. Unless things are really critical, the effort is not worth the gain, especially when a bit of hamfisted roll control will bring up the boards on the jets. Hence, the general Boeing guidance is nil wheel input and rudder to maintain heading.
