From this latest test, it looked like SpaceX shared the concern, and took steps to address it. It was less "last-second hover-slam" and more "we'll flip, hover, and touch down gently".

With production legs instead of the tiny stubby test ones, I suspect it'd have worked.

It appears the fire that led to explosion was caused by a valve that started leaking even prior to touchdown. i.e. unrelated to the leg failure.

Even better, although it was still visibly leaning after touchdown. Not sure what their timeframe is on the new legs.
