A lot of this depends what is explicitly written in your OM A. My current company has a blanket statement that damp runways are wet for performance purposes. My previous company had bespoke options for certain performance limiting grooved runways.

Regarding crosswind limits, my previous company had fixed limits written into the performance manual, with a written calculation method to factor in gusts. My current employer defers to the manufacturer guidelines in the Flight Crew Training Manual which gives the Captain a measure of discretion regarding gusts.

The crosswind limits decrease based on the braking action on the runway, but the landing distance available doesn’t come into it.
