In the B-17 if you used the wrong aileron you would not have enough
rudder to counter it...the ailerons on that airplane produce a lot of
drag.

That's a bit strange. What is the "wrong aileron"?
Ailerons control roll, while the rudder controls yaw.

If you are "wing low" while approaching in a crosswind, it is possible
that the windward wing will dip and a spin will try to start. You need
to correct using the rudder, but if no more authority is available, you
have a problem. It's not specific to the B-17.
