When you have a high approach speed in a heavy 321, autobrakes low seems to make for such a long application of brakes, I've always wondered if a shorted, harder application might be better. I don't know. I only use medium on short runways for passenger comfort, but a heavy 321 can sure cook the brakes.
Also, brake fans on the 320NEO are awesome and badly missing on the 321
You are completely ignoring that brakes aren't the only things slowing the airplane.
