Don't stall and 3) Don't stall.

When I slip to landing, I always crank in some small forward (down)
trim just in case I get distracted. Am I the only one that's this
paranoid?

Hmmm, real bad time to be distracted *smile*.

You already are high on approach (why do the slip?), last thing you want to
do at least in my opinion is add down trim for additional speed????

Once I get my trim set for my 68 knot approach speed (on downwind), it
stays there until the tires meet the road.

My right hand never leaves the throttle on base to final.
