Amazing video! What surprised me was that the "demonstrated crosswind" was made with no rudder and aileron inputs. It appears that it demonstrates the maximum side load capability rather than the cross control effectiveness. For years I've been under the impression the limit was set by the latter.

It all depends on the airplane. The big jets cannot touch down with
very much bank angle, or you risk touching an engine to the runway.

Same problem an open class sailplane has. No reason they couldn't kick the
crab out though, or at least part of it. It is hard for me to watch just
landing in the full crab.

Not only are the engines in jeopardy (on some airplanes) but add in the
sweep of the wings on jet aircraft and the wing tips can be dangerously
close to the ground with a nose high attitude and (God forbid) a big sink
rate. The B-727 is a classic example. I'm typed in the DC-9. 727, 757/767.
The most critical of those was the 72, Mostly because of a more pronounced
sweep, and of course, being lower to ground to begin with.
