Me? I'm a 5 knot kind of guy (but I fly a taildragger)...

I landed at 3 different fields today where the established pattern resulted
in a landing with a quartering 7 knot (or more) tailwind, with some mild
gusts thrown in for good measure.

Part of instrument training is to ensure students can land correctly
with a stiff tailwind (given a proper length runway). Instrument
approaches don't always line up with the wind.
