The point about using flaps up as recommended by Cessna is that if you have ice on the tail plane and you lower flap on the approach the tail plane may stall resulting in loss of control in pitch and you usually lower flap when relatively near the ground.

Over the years quite a few aircraft have come to grief this way. If you're quick you might getaway with it if you retract flaps!
