I flew a 172 and 182 for quite awhile. I Do recall reading somewhere that fwd slips were not recommended. I think it was related to low speeds plus the drag already put out there in the wind, and the crossed controls. I usually landed the Cessnas with two notches of flaps and focused on a decent approach on final to short. Just mind the airspeed. If your high and it's windy I'd crab it. If you wanted to use full flaps. But of course you don't want full flaps on a windy approach.
If you contact Cessna Pilot Assoc. They are very informative and do know everything about every Cessna and S/N specific quirk about all of their birds.
They also have a fantastic magazine for Cessna pilots.
Good luck
