Not in any 320/319 I flew. Guess you guys have vastly different software on your fleet. Even the pitch in Flare is slightly different than Direct to induce the pilot to flare the aircraft. Additonally, with light crosswinds, the remaining lateral stability in Flare mode will basically add a minor drift correction with light rudder deflection in x winds. At least for me in my 6000 hours on the aircraft. Bottom line, lead with rudder, see what Fifi does, add subtract with momentary lateral inputs while entering the roundout/flare.
