this still doesn't dissuade me from holding off when landing as long as the wind is pretty near straight down the runway.
I should hope not and was certainly not what I was suggesting! A Taildragger properly three pointed will normally be close enough to the stall that it is generally not going to get flying again, that can of course happen in very gusty conditions and as you say is when a wheeler landing that is placed onto the runway when you are ready may be the better option.
