Hi sonicbum,
With very strong crosswind it may be quite challenging to coordinate it without risking to have one wing down during the flare, as you can see
The Lufthansa aircraft landed on the down wind wheel first, lost half their aileron control, and continued to roll despite full side stick.

See pages 39 & 53 of A320_Hamburg-Crosswindlanding.pdf

"Touchdown
• The aircraft was 4° left wing down at the time the left main landing gear made contact
with the runway
• The horizontal acceleration was 0.17g to the right, the vertical acceleration was 1.68 g
• The rudder was deflected about three quarters of maximum throw to the left. At this time
the yaw rate was about 6° per second.
Between contact by the left main landing gear and contact between the left wingtip and ground:
• The aircraft rolled towards the left
• Both the captain and co-pilot gave sidestick inputs to the right
• The left wing down attitude reached a maximum of 23°, whereupon the left wingtip
touched the ground
• The rudder was deflected about one third of its full throw to the right"

"The system was so designed that when in lateral Ground Mode the ailerons/spoilers kinematics are modified as a function of speed, in the sense to reduce the maximum available ailerondeflection by half (at high speed: > 80k)t. This was also confirmed by the Flight Data Recorderparameter traces, in which aileron deflection was reduced to about half of full travel in responseto full sidestick deflection."

Oops!
