The landing distance difference between Flap 25 and Flap 30 at 180T braking action good is 55' the tailwind adjustment Flap 25 is 225' and Flap 30 220, there is a net difference of 60' and the Vref flap 25 is plus 6kts.
The time it takes to run to flap 30 and adjust the Vref, is it worth it? most people float for more than 60' Lastly, I don't think you will ever find Boeing recommending a flap setting for tailwinds..
