Landing without decrabing, I would on a wet runway.
Is there an outstanding operational reason for NOT removing drift before touch-down whether wet or dry runway? Surely the side strain on the landing gear is not desirable. In any case, if landing on a slippery runway with crosswind and not de-crabbing, the immediate result of full reverse thrust is the danger of going sideways due to the reverse thrust sideways vector. This is explained in great detail in the FCTM. By de-crabbing before touch down this danger is removed.
