If you float in above the threshold a fair bit higher than Vref, is it
acceptable technique to chance the reverser to preclude landing too far
down the runway?

Thanks in advance,

I just open the door and throw out the anchor. Works best on soft grass
runways.

That is called a soft-field landing, right? You should use it on all
grass strips, not just the soft ones. Because you never know when one
may be soft, so just assume that and always use the anchor. Worst case
is that the grass runway is hard and it just bounces along behind you.
No hard as long as it doesn't wrap around the tail. :-)
