I can't speak to the 747 or 777, but I can the 767 and L-1011. There is
always controversy about it, but the truth is in watching the autopilot do
an auto-land. It's all crab until about 150 feet, HAT, where the autopilot
goes into align mode; that is it transitions from crab to wing down into the
wind with a slight amount of upwind rudder. This last throughout the flare

downwind rudder, surely.

Correct, downwind rudder and upwind aileron. If I am landing on Runway 27 and the
wind is from 360 at 25, the left foot will be on the rudder and the control wheel
will be to the right. ;-)
