Hmmm.
Not sure about that "like other Falcons" JR.

The CODDE 2 actually states in the Normal Operations - Special Procedures - Weather - Crosswind:

Note: When the nosewheel is on the ground, the sidestick roll command should not be positioned into the wind.

and

Commanded roll into the wind would increase adverse "weather vane " effect.

If you look at the FCS synoptic page on the ground and command a roll, you will see the rudder deflect in the direction of the commanded roll to keep the turn the system assumes you are making coordinated. However if you're on the runway, it just weathervanes the aircraft. At max crosswind, directional control may become difficult. Its not the best feature of the aircraft. It'll get fixed eventually, as its a software fix.

It also says max bank angle 5 degrees down to touchdown.

Counter-intuitively its the wing tip which will hit first, not the gear door. That is caused by the pitch attitude at touch down which puts the tips closer to the ground.
