Well....can't argue about the Tuschka - you know better than me 
In other aircrafts I have seen Pilots working all axis in nasty crosswind approaches (F27-500, F50, Saab340, A300). I agree that most
work is done with the help of ailerons and elevators but the rudders was used to counter gusts - and in the case of the F27 this was done
in a dramatical way (the scenery was moving left to right and back in the cockpit windows) and the pilot actually had to initiate a go around.
Winds in combination with the $%&@ noise abatement procedures in Schipol can be a handful.
Interesting side facts: This flight was done in the early 90's and it was an ALL LADIES flightdeck in a KLM Cityhopper and one of the girls
was my GF , hence the jump seat
