There is a brigade of theorists on this forum who are doubtless not airline pilots but have previously stated the following are not safe procedures.

Intersection takeoffs.
Tailwind takeoffs/landings.
Derated/flex takeoffs.
Takeoffs or landings if there is any whiff of a neighboring cb.
Committing to a single runway airfield with insufficient fuel for diversion.
Departing with allowable technical defects.
Autolanding without telling ATC
Overflying a usable runway having had an engine failure and flying to one more suitable and familiar.

And now it seems we can add landing with a reduced landing distance due to an obstacle. (If this event happened)
Funny because it's true! Sad because it's true!

Wasn't BA the same airline that flew a 747 across the pond on three engines
