You can approach with Vls to land. See note 1 under the table in QRH where it says:
'' In case of strong or gusty crosswind greater than 20kt, VAPP SHOULD be at least VLS + 5 kt……''
You're correct, characteristic speeds does say wind correction is limited to a minimum of 5kt but I think that is referring to the logic of the FMGC - I think, I do not know.
We had an airbus recommendation within our company (easyJet) that Vapp SHOULD be increased to Vls+5kt if it ever shows as less on the PFD.
I'd fly VLS+5kt as a minimum in normal operations.
Nowhere does it say we MUST.
