But, if the objective is to be conservative, ie; a slightly lower TCH at a slightly shallower angle at slightly earlier touchdown point, then (within the scope of good airmanship and normal judgement) this can only be a good thing.
No. Stick to the SOPs.

If you do the above, your rollout will be longer, your 'touchdown scatter' increased beyond the manufacturer's criteria, your landing performance invalidated, and your chances of an overrun increased. Oh, and you have also invalidated your insurance by deviating from the flight manual.

If your pilots (or you) are not trained enough, able enough, or indeed man enough, to do LCY properly and by the book, they shouldn't be doing it at all...
