And some aircraft, especially those with very low nacelles (737) or engines that are far outboard (747)
Airbus aircraft are always nice and high on the strut giving plenty of roll clearance. I believe if the drift angle is 5 degrees or less they say decrab isn't required. So that'd be perhaps just over a 10 knot crosswind.

My advice for landing the 320 is to keep your aim point at a third screen height - keep it there as your reference all the way down to 50 RA. All the while using your peripheral vision get a feeling for your ROD. At 50 RA look further down the runway and close the thrust levers promptly at 30 RA. (I go for 40 RA with a stiff enough TW or just under 20 for a stiff enough HW).
