I fly a twin turbine taildragger for a living and we never 3 point it. Its always landed flat and then we push forward on the yoke against the beta to lower the tail to the ground.

High speed tail up taxiing for us is the norm on long runways or we would be blocking them for other traffic for quite some time.

I don't teach the tail up taxi as a separate exercise, it is just the first part of the landing as touch and goes. I have trained enough people to fly our aircraft over the years to know it works well that way. We also have the issue that we don't really have long enough runways in the UK/Europe that are quiet enough to carry out practice going up and down a runway taxiing.
