I had one LCA say if you try to flare, and land soft a " crosswind will eat you up in this airplane." That same trip I landed 12 knots steady x wind, and just set it down, with xwind correction as low as possible. Works great. On centerline, no drift. What worries me is the 27 kts.

Don’t fear dragging the upwind wing on a normal stiff crosswind. A little slip goes a long way in the duece.
Look at the image of Mesa dragging a wing tip, the picture outside from that cockpit would have been pretty extreme.
The worst I’ve seen are guys who don’t slip (forgot?).
Unnecessarily dropping a wing on the 700 just before touchdown can actually really help your landings until you get the 700 technique down.
