What are your
thoughts? I'm not sure how I would've known the right power setting,
unless I used what I normally do, and accept the lower ground speed,
then adjust my descent for the ILS to a much lower fpm descent?

Exactly. Airspeed is what's crucial for aircraft control. Ground speed
is just used for timing. Adjust the timing. If it's gusty, you might
want a slightly higher airspeed, just like for VFR landings in gusty winds.
