Glad everyone walked away but surprised that it does not raise more concern...
Finally a landing has to be made somewhere. If the alternates have similar winds, it might be preferable to use fuel at destination rather than elsewhere.
An understandable degree of PIO might be present, and it would be hard to suggest a substantially unstable approach based on the video. I would also hesitant to call the nice touchdown a lucky break.
Old school options, like extra fuel, wonderfully opens up the holding and alternate choice possibilities.
