I know that coming in shallow will definitely land you deeper into the runway i.e. With all the above arguments, coming in shallow means more power to maintain the speed and your Rate of descent is lower. At flaring you would have a lesser sink rate and more power. Wouldn't you tend to float a little and land deep.
