Ducking under is OK and used by professionals on a day to day basis where I work. E.g. a contaminated runway with displaced threshold. Plenty of flat surface under you before the 'real' threshold. The point is not to land on it but land earlier than normal to maximize stopping distance. You can gain a couple of hundred meters if needed. If visual references are poor, then you might not want to try it. Your call.
