Really? Do you use max autobrakes every time?
Would I do a flaps 3 (or on my plane 25) into SNA? Hell no. But on a clear night landing in MCO or RSW, with a long runway, yes.
Don't let the company pressure you into doing something stupid. On the other hand don't let an unreasonable fear of an inquisition prevent you from saving money for the company when it is safe and appropriate.
