5 degrees is the rule of thumb. There’s some bonkers chart in the books that shows your allowed bank based on your pitch attitude, but that’s not exactly useful information. Nobody with a pilot’s intelligence level is going to be able to memorize it, and you sure as hell aren’t going to be referencing it mid flare.

I guess 10 hours of cruise is not enough time to reference it
(I couldn't resist)
What is the accepted crosswind technique for the jet? Pod scrapes are a big deal in our community, thus the you don't need to memorize it but you should memorize the number applies on both landing and rotation. At least they tell you, not eating a bowl of spaghetti to find it.

Basically whatever you want as long as the wings are level. For stronger crosswinds they recommend you land in the crab and straighten it on the ground. But as usual the language is such that no matter how you screw it up, they can blame it on you.
Most swept wing aircraft land in a crab for stronger crosswind if required, and a kick out isn’t possible. There’s a good number of them that don’t react well aerodynamically to pilots trying a wing low method, aside from engine pod issues. Especially ones with little wing area. I’ve seen that tried a few times and it lets you know it doesn’t like it

Interesting - we straighten it out to not land in a crab, wings level, on runway heading. Some do it in the flare others prior to the flare coincident to flap setting and weight for the power pull. I am curious about the difference in trucks now.
Any 74 operators hiring, I want to give it a try!

I mostly kicked it out in the flare. Don't really need to be straight yet but it was helpful having the airplane moving toward straight at touchdown. The autoland system does wing low but not recommended for us hooomans. I've seen a few guys land in the crab and get caught by surprise when that huge wing swung around.

I've actually driven through one of the annual crab migrations.
Nothing like driving a car that smells like hot crab salad gone bad.
Suck a bunch of those in the intake, and I bet that'd hit the turbo button on the barf index.
