I think it is pointless to make blanket statements about three point vs wheel landings. Some aircraft you never 3 point (Beech 18) others you never wheel land (Helio Courrier) and if the field is so short the type of landing is going to make a difference than if you are not a professional bush pilot, you should not be going into there in the first place.
Which technique should be used for any given landing depends on the type of aircraft and the conditions. A proper tailwheel conversion course should teach both but new tailwheel pilots need to build their experience in gentle conditions before trying the fancy flying. After I sign my students out
I tell them to go do about 10 hrs of practice on nice days and them come back for round two were we go out on the snotty days and and into some more demanding fields.
