100s of pilots started with Airbus FBW and stayed with it, they don't need to know what you do in Boeing or other a/c. The ground speed mini is different philosophy to maintain energy levels in gusty conditions., If you are not going to use it in those conditions then there no point in using it at all. Trying to remember Boeing speed is neither here nor there because Boeing uses extra airspeed all the way while ground speed mini uses ground speed and keeps it constant. I never found any need to remember my 747 technique in A 320. If you add extra 15 kt to VLs as you are allowed the thrust variation will become less. If you are not comfortable due to conditions you should let the automation do the job but changing to some methods of your own thinking is not a very good idea, should you have incident you might find yourself very lonely.
