When you "uncrab" yourself in a crosswind, just lower the upwind wing a few degrees and use a touch of opposite rudder to stop yourself from turning towards the lowered wing.
You'll find you don't drift towards the edge of the runway! In the right aircraft, you can touch down that way on wheel with no problems at all.

What aircraft do you fly? The two types that I am flying most often at the moment (Jodel D140 and Rallye) are happy with full flap in quite bumpy conditions. Aileron response remains good, the nose is lower (good vis) and speed control is easier in a steep approach (although the Rallye doesn't pick up much speed whatever the configuration, even with full throttle...
)
